As a Professional Stone Mason, Jason Salvini began building custom Masonry sculptures and water features in 1998. This was at the request of family, friends, and clients who understood and believed in his ability to work with natural organic materials.

Salvini studied ancient cultures of the Egyptians, the Greeks, and Romans, was well as the cultures of the Middle East. It was the research of these early peoples who fueled the artists' disire to work with stone and earth, as they once did.

Salvini also spent considerable time in the Arizona wilderness hiking and hunting; observing firsthand the remnants of the stone ruins of the Anasazi and Hopi natives. He enjoyed exploring the southwest, becoming inspired by the cliff drawings and ancient architectural beauty there. Salvini's work reflects his research into the meanings behind these different influences, while still keeping his designs fresh, unique and his own.

Please visit our photo gallery to see a small sampling of his work; however, please feel free to contact an Avanti representative if you are interested in a custom sculpture by the artist. Salvini is able to design and construct just about any size or type of sculpture you may have in mind.
