    Q&A with Lorenzo Quinn.

    Lorenzo:

    "As both an Italian citizen and long-term Spanish resident, the key goals I remember are mostly from those teams.

    The 2006 World Cup Final is a standout for me as Italy beat France on penalties. Of course, I could also never forget Spain winning the world title in the 2010 final.”

    “To encourage everyone to be more in tune with our environment and with what surrounds us. To be more aware of who we are and where we are now in comparison to the future. We should all work together to achieve one goal for universal sustainability - this narrative aligns with the sculptures I create.”

    Lorenzo:

    "I am inspired by life itself and my journey through it. I’m a symbolist artist so every piece of work has a meaning behind it. A personal story or an ode to humanity as a whole. All my work is about uniting people, never about separating."

    Lorenzo:

     “Life is cyclical. We must use what we have learnt from the past and in the present and use technology to help us advance and improve as we move forward.
     

    A rebirth for humanity and for a more empathetic world, founded on love and awareness towards our natural environment and a sustainable future.

    I’m a husband and a father. I worry about my children’s future - what kind of world we have brought them into and what world we will leave for them when we are gone. I believe it’s our duty to leave a better world behind. Humanity has not been good to the environment, but I think we have come to realize that we have to be in perfect symbiosis with the Earth to move forward.”

    Lorenzo:

     “Three to me, means democracy. In order to advance and move forward in life, a third opinion breaks the cycle and provides a democratic balance and perspective of common goals. To me this speaks to the fact we must be united in order to make a change."

    Lorenzo:

    "I’m in agreement with Hyundai’s goal for sustainability and I want to be a part of their effort to make the world a better place. The Greatest Goal is the project that I am proudly working towards with Hyundai. The narrative, of course, is about sustainability and working together. For me it’s a great privilege and honor to be a part of this project."
