The final result was Victor Issa’s creation of a museum
quality life size bust of Michael Levine that will stand the test
of time. To say that Mr. Levine was awe inspired is an
understatement. Even a photographic glimpse of the work here

Victor Issa’s approach to creating unique portraits in
bronze represents the culmination of nearly thirty years of
sculpting the human form. Be it a full figure, a simple bust, or
a complicated group composition, his goal is always to capture

likeness. His commission calendar is currently booked through mid
2012, but he is always excited to discuss future projects with
discriminating patrons, those looking for the finest in bronze
