Sculpture is my passion.

I see into the stone, and I sculpt what it reveals.

I have been working with stone for over 25 years. I appreciate the subtleties of each stone I come across. I have dedicated many years to sculpting stone for other artists, but now, I'm stepping into the spotlight with my own creations, anchored in my own traditions.

For eight years, Ben has honed his craft as a master finisher under the tutelage of renowned sculptor Sommers Randolph. Featured to the left is a collaborative abstract piece that elegantly blends form and space. Crafted from orange alabaster, a warm, translucent orange stone, it features a continuous, flowing loop that twists to form a heart-like shape – a formable piece for Ben and his artistic journey. This piece embodies Ben’s dedication to revealing the stone's intrinsic beauty and color variation. It symbolizes the mastery Ben has absorbed—dynamic, harmonious, and fluid—a signature he weaves into each of his sculptures.

Artist- Randolph Sommers, finished by Ben Roybal

Year: 2020

This sculpture is an archetypal figure rendered in a style reminiscent of ancient carvings, crafted from a green stone with natural marbling. It embodies the metaphor of adapting to change, suggested by its posture of tucking into itself. Its form, depicting a figure with a rounded back, hunched shoulders, and head bowed, captures a sense of motion and fluidity, illustrating the concept of 'rolling with the punches' that life may bring. This work was created in collaboration with artist JenJoy Roybal.

Dimensions: 6" x 5" x 12"
