Rolf Franck

Rolf Franck is a sculptor and visual artist whose work explores the tension between the ephemeral and the permanent, dedicated to the preservation of tactile memories. His work emerges from a desire to capture and freeze the physical essence of our interactions, not only between humans, but also between ourselves and the world that surrounds us.
Based in Oslo, he has split the last years between the classical traditions of marble carving in Carrara, Italy, and the creative energy of a sculpture studio in Cape Town. Specializing in Carrara Statuario marble, Rolf Franck approaches sculpture with a modern sensibility and tactile finesse. He views marble not only as a medium but also as a three-dimensional archive for the ephemeral. By carving stone, he seeks to give a lasting, touchable form to the fleeting sensory experiences of life.

MD, PhD, previously working as a cardiac electrophysiologist with 3D electroanatomic imaging as an essential tool. Marble sculpting courses in Carrara, Italy, since 2017, and sculpting projects in Cape Town, South Africa since 2024.
