CLIMB AS HIGH AS YOUR DREAMS ’’Monumental Bronze, 109’’ x 32’’ x 32’’The difference between the ground and the heights one achieves will only be limited by one's desire, for nothing in this world is impossible to a willing heart. The overall abstract design of this sculpture is in the shape of a flame, which represents the desire that burns in man. Inside the rock crevice, a man, strong in mind and body with determination, struggles to pull himself up through a difficult passage in order to reach the top. He is alone, free climbing without the security of ropes. At this point in his life, his fate is literally in his own hands. He must trust in his ability to climb higher, because only with self-discipline and belief will he be able to reach the top.
Chris Navarro from Casper WY and owner of Navarro Gallery and Sculpture Garden in Sedona, AZ has been sculpting professionally since 1986. He is best known for his large monumental sculptures. With over 34 monumental bronze sculptures placed throughout the country and his work is in 11 museum collections. “Family, horses, and art have been the driving passions of my life. I love what I do for a living and hope others can see that through the work I have created.’’ www.chrisnavarro.com

SALMON DREAMS
SALMON DREAMS Monumental Bronze a special commission for a
collector who has a beautiful gated entry to his home, and he wanted two
grizzly bears guarding his property. However, the bears have fallen asleep on
the job. I always create a maquette of the monument to first work out my design
and composition. In the small-scale model, I chose to tell the story of the
bears in a dream state. But, I wondered, what do bears dream of? Why not
salmon, one of their favorite foods? So, I placed salmon, swimming, around the
square sculpture base, giving it a surrealistic quality.

Cold Beans and a Wet Saddle
Cold Beans and a Wet Saddle
This sculpture depicts the unglamorous side of being a cowboy. Working outside in miserable weather and pushing through to finish a job. It has been pouring cold rain all day long. The cowboy and his horse are covered with mud when they stop for a bite to eat. With no shelter from the rain, the cowboy knows it is too wet to start a fire, so he reaches into his saddlebags for a can of beans. Sitting on a rock, he makes the best of what he has. With cold beans in his belly, he’ll swing back into his wet saddle and finish the job he has set out to do. That is the cowboy way.chrisnavarro.com

BUFFALO RUNNER
BUFFALO RUNNER Bronze, 16.5’’ x 26’’ x 10’’ One tactic of the warrior hunters of the Great Plains would involve herding buffalo and driving them over cliffs, known as “buffalo jumps.” This technique allowed hunters to harvest the massive animals for food, clothing, and shelter.
The Buffalo Runner sculpture depicts a warrior on horseback, using a buffalo robe to stampede a herd. The backside of the robe portrays the image of a running buffalo, which symbolizes the great power, spirit, and respect that Native Americans held for the buffalo.
