“My ultimate goal is to develop a platform where I can share my passion for sculpture and help others master the art of sculpting the human figure” .

Javier Murcia is a professional sculptor with nearly 30 years of experience in traditional sculpture and the film industry. Trained in classic techniques, he studied fine arts at university while also deepening his knowledge of human anatomy through courses at the medical school — a rare combination that shaped his distinctive approach to figure sculpting in clay.

Over the years, Javier has worked across a wide range of materials, formats, and digital technologies. He spent more than five years at the world-renowned  Weta Workshop, contributing to major film productions and museum exhibitions. His deep understanding of human anatomy and sculptural technique allows him to create figures with realism, emotion, and life.

If you’re looking to learn clay figure sculpting, Javier offers  online courses and in-person workshops designed to build a strong foundation in structure, gesture, and form. His step-by-step teaching approach helps students at all levels refine their skills and bring their sculptures to life.
