Ejesiak Pitsiulak

One original hand-carved sculpture by Inuit artist Ejesoak Pitsiulak. One raven carved out of serpentine stone.

Ejesiak Pitsiulak is an Inuit artist from Cape Dorset, Nunavut.

Ejesiak excels in sculpting marble or serpentine, locally sourced stones extracted from open-pit mines in Nunavut. Serpentine, a hard rock similar to jade, lends Ejesiak’s sculptures a unique texture and exceptional durability.

Each piece sculpted by Ejesiak is imbued with movement and vitality, reflecting his profound respect for the traditional Inuit sculptural style. He honed his talent by observing his father work at home, absorbing techniques and methods passed down through generations.

The process of creating each artwork is meticulous, with Ejesiak carefully selecting each stone fragment and striving to reveal the natural beauty of the raw material. His sculptures captivate with their detail and expressiveness, bearing witness to his dedication to Inuit art and his desire to preserve and transmit the traditions of his culture.
