About AnyBodySculpture: The Art of Celebrating Every Body
Founded by scientist and artist Bryan Stewart, AnyBodySculpture blends scientific precision with artistic expression to create custom figurative sculptures that celebrate the diversity of the human body. With a PhD in physiology and 30 years of research, Bryan brings a deep understanding of the body’s structure and form to each piece of art he creates. His sculptures are not just about replicating physical form—they are about telling the unique stories of transformation and identity that shape each individual.
Having spent years as a portrait photographer, Bryan worked closely with people in intimate and vulnerable moments, capturing their emotions and personal journeys through the lens. This experience in photography now informs his approach to sculpture, where he combines a keen eye for emotional depth with his scientific background to create pieces that reflect not just what a person looks like, but who they are.
AnyBodySculpture is built on the belief that every body deserves to be honored. Whether through sculptures that celebrate pregnancy, commemorate the journey of recovery after a surgery, or capture the beauty of aging, Bryan’s work reflects the stories behind the physical form. Each piece is a collaboration with the client, aimed at expressing their personal journey and celebrating their individuality.
At the heart of this practice is the "Any Body. Anybody" initiative, a commitment to inclusivity and accessibility in the world of fine art. Each year, Bryan offers a select number of reduced-price custom sculptures to ensure that his work is accessible to people from all walks of life. This initiative underscores his dedication to celebrating bodies of all shapes, sizes, and experiences—because art should be as diverse as the people it reflects.
Working with Bryan on a custom sculpture is a deeply personal and collaborative process. From the initial consultation to the final piece, clients are involved at every step. Whether through professional photography sessions, self-portraits, or self-videos, Bryan uses reference materials provided by the client to ensure the sculpture captures not only the physical likeness but the emotional essence of the individual. Each sculpture becomes a lasting representation of the transformative experiences that define a person’s life.
Bryan’s work is influenced by his belief that science and art exist on a spectrum of exploration. Inspired by the poet Walt Whitman’s words, “I am vast, I contain multitudes,” he sees every sculpture as a reflection of the many sides of an individual—both their physical form and the deeper layers of their identity and experience. Just as his journey has spanned the worlds of science and art, each subject contains multitudes, deserving of representation and celebration.
Through AnyBodySculpture, Bryan Stewart creates more than just art. He creates deeply personal works that honor the human body, celebrate transformation, and tell the stories that shape our lives.
