Painter, digital sculptor, wood carver and virtual-experience designer. My work joins the tradition of the Quito School (Escuela Quiteña) with contemporary technology: from gouge to pixel, from altarpiece to resin.
At twelve I earned a scholarship to train for five years in the techniques of the Quito School. I have been refining the craft ever since.
I am Francisco Jurado, an Ecuadorian artist based in Quito. I command oil, watercolor, acrylic and freehand drawing, and I have joined that classical foundation with a state-of-the-art digital workflow: ZBrush sculpture, 3D scanning and photogrammetry, CGI and resin printing.
I work for clients in Ecuador, Mexico, Panama and the United States, carrying the iconographic fidelity of sacred art into contemporary production pipelines — with on-site 3D scanning available wherever the sculpture stands.
A sample of digital sculpture, sacred art, watercolor, drawing, carving and modeling.
From digital model to finished physical piece, with iconographic and technical fidelity.
High-resolution digital sculpture with photorealistic rendering and CGI, for monumental sculpture, public art and product design.
Commissioned religious sculpture: statuary, altarpieces and devotional figures that carry the Quito School tradition forward with contemporary precision.
Augmented-reality applications that place sculptures and artworks in real space — ideal for clients, fairs and catalogues.
Photogrammetry, 3D scanning and resin/PLA printing for reproduction, restoration and prototyping. On-site scanning available: I travel to where the sculpture stands, anywhere in the world.
Every piece follows a clear process, with reviews and your approval at each stage.
We discuss your project: references, dimensions, iconography, materials and budget.
I sculpt the piece digitally and send you renders for review. We refine it together until you approve.
The piece takes physical form: resin 3D printing, carving, polychromy or whatever finish the project calls for.
Technical documentation, packing and shipping, with installation support when the project requires it.
