Thus, once cast into bronze, these animals remain transfixed in their four elements: the air from their nostrils, the water from their body, the earth from their hooves, and the fire from their manes. Each sculpture captures what makes each horse unique and particular: its spirit, its movement, its temperament, and powerfull vitality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:1200px\">\n\n  <div class=\"about-wrapper\">\n\n    <p class=\"about-breadcrumb\"><span class=\"about-bc-dot\">\u2022<\/span> ABOUT THE ARTIST<\/p>\n    <h2 class=\"about-title\">Marcela <em class=\"about-title-red\">Ganly<\/em><\/h2>\n\n    <!-- Secci\u00f3n superior: foto + datos -->\n    <div class=\"about-top-grid\">\n      <div class=\"about-photo-1\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ganly.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Marcela-Ganly.jpeg\" alt=\"Marcela Ganly\" \/>\n      <\/div>\n      <aside class=\"about-facts\">\n        <dl>\n          <div class=\"about-fact-item\">\n            <dt>Born<\/dt>\n            <dd>1970 \u00b7 <em class=\"fact-red\">San Jos\u00e9,<\/em> Costa Rica<\/dd>\n          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"about-fact-item\">\n            <dt>Studied<\/dt>\n            <dd>Connecticut College, USA<\/dd>\n          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"about-fact-item\">\n            <dt>Studio<\/dt>\n            <dd><em class=\"fact-red\">Buenos Aires,<\/em> Argentina<\/dd>\n          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"about-fact-item\">\n            <dt>Mentor<\/dt>\n            <dd>Antonio Puj\u00eda<\/dd>\n          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"about-fact-item\">\n            <dt>Collections in<\/dt>\n            <dd>Argentina \u00b7 Australia \u00b7 Venezuela \u00b7 Costa Rica \u00b7 Mexico \u00b7 United States \u00b7 Canada \u00b7 England \u00b7 France \u00b7 Switzerland \u00b7 UAE<\/dd>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/dl>\n      <\/aside>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- Secci\u00f3n inferior: texto + foto -->\n    <div class=\"about-bottom-grid\">\n      <div class=\"about-content\">\n        <p class=\"lead-para\">Those who feel a deep love for horses will <em class=\"lead-red\">identify<\/em> with Marcela Ganly&#8217;s sculptures \u2014 her bronze animals are alive,\n  captured in their essence.<\/p>\n        <p class=\"body-para\">Marcela has grown up around horses \u2014 groomed them, trained them and joined up with them through years of mutual respect and affection.

Back in Buenos\n  Aires, while practicing medicine, she perfected her technique in the lost-wax method under the guidance of master <strong>Antonio Puj\u00eda<\/strong>. In 2006 she took a year&#8217;s\n  sabbatical leave to dedicate her time and passion towards creating new works of art. Realizing she had found her true path, she never went back to medicine. Her work is found\n   in collections in Argentina, Australia, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Mexico, United States, Canada, England, France, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"about-photo-2\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ganly.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/work-Marcela-Ganly.jpeg\" alt=\"Marcela Ganly\" \/>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ganly.net\/?page_id=49499\">exhibitions<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ganly.net\/?page_id=49462\">press<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marcela Ganly Those who feel a deep love for horses will identify with Marcela Ganly\u00b4s sculptures.
