Las Meninas Sculpture Project

Empowering Healing Through Art

Through the Las Meninas Sculpture Project and the support of Antonio Azzato, the Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute will reach local, national, and international audiences to promote the importance of art in healthcare.

To continue the successful and positive spirit of the Las Meninas project in Madrid, Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute (FCS) and Healing Arts in Medicine are bringing Antonio Azzato’s vision to the United States for the first time.

Azzato was born and raised in Venezuela and has Italian and Spanish roots. He has raised more than 550K euros for different charitable foundations. His experience in the engineering, business, marketing, and interior design fields has given him the technical and artistic training to develop his Meninas Gallery project, which has positioned the silhouette of the Menina as the new icon of the city of Madrid, where he currently resides. Learn more about Antonio here.

12 Sculptures

The Las Meninas statues will be distributed to 12 designated Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute clinics. Together with local artists, patients will bring their Las Meninas vision to life, giving each its own unique theme and color palette.

One World to Heal

Once complete, the Las Meninas sculptures will be on display in local communities, raising awareness of the extreme healing power of art in medicine. After a months-long tour of the state, each will be placed on auction.

 

Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Florida Cancer Specialists Foundation. The Foundation assists cancer patients in need in Florida with essential everyday living expenses.

Meet Us at the Gala

The final destination for the Las Meninas will be the gala, where interested bidders can bid on one of these magnificent statues during a live online auction.

Stay tuned for more information.
