For over thirty years, Catholic sculptor Tim Schmalz has been visually translating sacred scripture and creating spiritual artwork through his bronze sculptures. Tim shares the details of his journey and looks ahead with The BeatiDudes, including Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein.

Tim believes that sculpture is just the skin that covers an idea, a belief, and a truth. As an artist, he is dedicated to making this skin as thin and transparent as possible, so the art does not get in the way of what is being expressed. After being frustrated by the games within the art community, Tim turned his focus to scripture, saints, and the life of Jesus.

Over the past few decades, Tim has created some powerful representations of Christianity and several landmark, complex public bronze sculptures. Cast editions of his life-size bronze sculptures have been installed in major cities in front of some of the most historically significant Christian sites in the world, including Capernaum, the Vatican, and Florence.

In recent years, he has collaborated directly with the Vatican to create sculptures that highlight spiritual concerns in our modern world.

The Homeless Jesus, one of his most famous works, brings Jesus down from the cross and into a relatable human context that allows people to feel a greater closeness with Christ.
