Art By Ancizar
About
Art By Ancizar is the working studio of Ancizar Marin, a Colombian-born sculptor who has run this small fine-art business as an incorporated Florida enterprise since 2005. Rather than a traditional storefront gallery with regular walk-in hours, the operation is built around commissioned sculptural work, meaning most visitors arrange a consultation directly with the artist rather than browsing a public showroom. That model is common among working sculptors, whose pieces are often large, custom, and produced to order rather than stocked on a shelf, and it explains why the business is registered from a residential studio address in Pembroke Pines rather than a leased retail space.
Marin’s work centers on fiberglass and bronze, two mediums he describes as offering nearly limitless ways to translate an idea into a finished object. His portfolio leans toward circus-inspired and figurative pieces, often finished with automotive paint for a glossy, saturated surface that is not typical of traditional bronze patina work, and he has incorporated unconventional materials like volcanic rock into some pieces as well. It is the kind of hybrid technique that comes from years of hands-on experimentation rather than a single formal training path, and it gives his sculptures a distinct look compared to more conventional gallery bronzework found elsewhere in South Florida.
In his own words, Marin has said his intention is to capture the attention of other people and stimulate a dialogue of love, admiration, knowledge, and feeling through art, a statement that lines up with the emotionally expressive, sometimes theatrical quality of his sculptural figures. For collectors or designers in the Miramar and Pembroke Pines area looking for a custom bronze or fiberglass commission rather than something purchased off a gallery wall, working directly with an independent sculptor like this offers a level of personal involvement in the design process that larger commercial art vendors typically cannot match.
The business responds to inquiries within about a day on business days according to its own site, and prospective clients are encouraged to reach out by phone or email to discuss a commission, timeline, and budget before any studio visit is scheduled. As one of a relatively small number of independently registered fine-art sculpture businesses operating in the western Broward County suburbs, Art By Ancizar fills a niche that sits between hobbyist art classes and large commercial sculpture studios, serving collectors who want a one-of-a-kind piece made by a single, identifiable artist rather than a production shop.
