Neptune Majestic is an art project, born from a meaningful purpose and forged into a sculpture of enduring stone.
Neptune Majestic is a symbolic quest of parenthood, a legacy - cast in a tangible form and entrusted to my children. It is to guide them through life with encouragement to aim for their own dreams with perseverance, wisdom, and determination. Even, if my presence may gently fade, a distance grows, and when the bond is quietly tested.
It has originated from my own artistic conception and from a soul touching life experiences. I developed the conceptual framework, artistic intent, and symbolic narrative of the piece. I sourced a quarry in Portugal and I ordered a 34 ton block of "Blanco Salinas" granite material to be cut to a specific size and excavated for me. Then, after six months of searching through the internet I found a sculptor whose skills I hired under contract, solely for the technical execution of carving Neptune Majestic while mindfully guiding him to take into account chosen by me alterations. He was to work in accordance with my detailed instructions.
In line with established contemporary arts practice, my role was that of an Author of the cultural art works . The sculptor whom I commissioned to carve a figure of Neptune contributed his specialist technical skills "under hire", necessary for the realization of my Art Project. I used a similar approach when I purchased a custom-sized 6.5 ton granite block for a plinth. I also engaged a stonemason to cut it in accordance with my aesthetic lines of design, so to secure a proper and admirable viewing platform of the statue.
This statement is provided to ensure clarity and transparency, and for the accurate assessment of my authorship and of my artistic intent whenever it is attempted to be contested in public discourse by the insightful critics, while art choices or selection decisions are to be made. More detailed interpretation compiled by AI are at the bottom.
For reference, and should it be of interest, I here note the Paris court decision in Daniel Druet v. Maurizio Cattelan, which considered authorship in comparable circumstances. The court concluded that the "fabricator" (sculptor), while technically skilled, was not the author where conceptual and expressive decisions remained with the artist.
A summary of the decision is available via ArtNews;
Putting that aside, I am an aesthetic thinker - a visionary, someone with imagination and passion, constantly exploring beyond conventional boundaries. I am someone driven by a deep-rooted desire to solve problems creatively and to generate ideas that span a wide spectrum of aesthetic and conceptual design.
For me, what matters most is not titles or labels, but the inspiration and healing we leave behind in others.
I communicate by transforming complex ideas into clear, motivating messages that resonate and inspire. My creative journey is fueled by persistence, wisdom, grit, and the determination to realize my goals—even when that means confronting my own inner challenges.
At times, this path demands bold decisions, strategic thinking, and a willingness to take risks. Yet I strive always to act with intention—to lead with optimism, innovation, and the ability to maintain strategic foresight. I aim to see beyond the present moment and envision a future rich with possibility.
Practicing foresight means more than imagining what could be—it’s an active process. I analyze patterns, anticipate scenarios, identify both risks and opportunities. This forward-thinking mindset enables me to create practical, actionable plans, plans that transform ideas into reality, and aspirations into outcomes.
Above all, I cultivate a mindset rooted in curiosity and optimism opened to change, grounded in clarity, and committed to purpose.
AI' s compiled interpretation of authorship rights to Neptune Majestic:
🧠 "Who is considered the author of Neptune Majestic
Arck Storm is the originator and conceptual author of Neptune Majestic.
- He conceived the project, chose the subject (a reinterpretation of the iconic Neptune of Bologna), and drove the artistic vision and purpose behind creating the sculpture.
- The project is publicly described as Storm’s art project with a narrative about resilience, inspiration and symbolic meaning that he wanted to communicate.
- Interviews and coverage identify Storm as the founder, patron, and artistic author of the project, meaning the initiative, overall design intent and ultimate purpose are attributed to him.
🛠️ What role the sculptor who executed the physical carving of the statue played.
- Sculptor, a Polish artist, was selected by Storm to realise the sculpture in granite and worked for roughly two years to shape the massive block of granite into its final form.
- In artistic practice, this makes the sculptor the craftsman or fabricator — the person who translated the idea into a tangible, three-dimensional artwork — while Storm retains authorship of the artistic project as its instigator and guiding creative force.
📚 Authorship in art — how it’s generally regarded
In many fields of art, especially large-scale sculpture, authorship can be shared or differentiated depending on roles:
- Conceptual/Project Author: The person who originates the idea, symbolic meaning, and overall design direction — in this case, Arck Storm.
- Principal Sculptor/Executor: The person whose technical skill and manual labour produced the physical form.
Even famous historical artists often worked with artisans or workshops; the core creative vision and commissioning patron are what typically define artistic authorship in public and critical discourse.
🧩 Conclusion
So yes — Arck Storm is generally regarded as the author of the Neptune Majestic art project because he conceived,commissioned, funded, directed and named it as an artistic work. The sculptor is not dismissed — he is the master sculptor who realised that vision in stone — but in terms of artistic authorship and project identity, the primary credit is attributed to Storm as the project’s creator and author".

Neptune Majestic
A Monumental Tribute to Creativity, Grit, and Vision
The Neptune Majestic sculpture stands as a powerful testament to human creativity, resilience, and aesthetic vision.
This breathtaking granite monolith invites viewers to explore not only its grand physical form, but the deeply personal
and mythological story behind it.
You can experience this unique art project and its inspirational journey in the Gallery section.
A Personal Legacy Inspired by Myth and Meaning
Created in 2016 by Arck Storm, Neptune Majestic art project began as a deeply personal project intended as a legacy for his children. Through it, he sought to communicate enduring values: the power of imagination, the pursuit of excellence, and the transformative nature of perseverance.
The sculpture draws inspiration from the mythological figure of Neptune, and more specifically, from the famed Fountain of Neptune in Bologna, Italy, erected in 1566. However, Neptune Majestic is not it's direct replica. Instead, it is a re-imagining crafted with purpose, adapted through thoughtful anatomical and symbolic alterations and sculpted entirely by hand from a colossal 34-ton 3.4 meter high block of granite.
It is the first and only hand-carved granite interpretation of Bologna's Neptune in the world—a work of immense scale, technical difficulty, and emotional resonance.
A Fusion of Strength, Wisdom, and Aesthetic Precision
Storm’s Neptune Majestic is envisioned not simply as a god, but as a young Roman figure representing tenacity and grit, fused with the wisdom of age—portrayed through the sculpture’s classically inspired features, including the head of an aged Greek philosopher. This interplay of youth and wisdom evokes a powerful emotional response in the viewer: strength without arrogance, confidence tempered by reflection.
The piece took nearly two years of intense, six-day workweeks to complete—a testament not only to the scale of the project, but to the dedication required to bring it to life.
The Plinth: Foundation of Reverence and Emotion
In classical sculpture, the plinth is not just a base—it is a part of the message. As Arck Storm notes:
“For what is a sculpture without its plinth? Looking upwards, it gives a sense of power, reverence or even divinity—much like the angels high in cathedral ceilings: out of reach, yet eternally aspirational.”
This philosophy guided the design of the 6.5-ton granite plinth, custom-excavated from the same Portuguese quarry as the sculpture's stone was. Storm personally designed its proportions and features to ensure that even the lowest details of the statue are visible to a viewer of an average height, thus maximizing engagement and emotional impact.
As Auguste Rodin once said:
“The plinth does for sculpture what the frame does for a canvas.”
A Sculpture That Symbolizes the Journey of Becoming
Neptune Majestic is more than a figure in stone. It is a symbol of what can be achieved through imagination, persistence, and purpose. It embodies the belief that even the most daunting goals can be realized when grit and aesthetic vision are applied with unwavering commitment.
This sculpture is an invitation—especially to young dreamers—to make them believe in the attainability of their aspirations. Its form and presence remind us that true success lies not in shortcuts, but in the mastery of discipline, creativity, and self-belief.
As the artist himself states:
“Pain was easy to portray. But to use passion and pain to express ecstatic beauty, hope, determination, and confidence—that was of utmost importance.”
The First of Its Kind Since 1566
Neptune Majestic stands today as the world’s only hand-carved granite reinterpretation of "Neptune of Bologna" statue since its original creation nearly five centuries ago. It is a sculpture that commands presence—not only for its monumental size, but for the emotion and intention carved into every line of its form.
