Manuel Palos is a San Francisco sculptor born and raised in Mexico and the son of a shoemaker. In this video, he tells his story that while a child in Mexico, he made clay figures to sell on the street. He shows us how he learned to “talk” to his creations and “listen” to each of them. His skilled hands have brought to life hundreds of pieces of clay and marble. Manuel Palos has made himself into an acclaimed artist. He has completed works for the San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts and well-known clients such as Nicolas Cage. And he wants to do more.
