By Tony Nicholas
Vincent Joseph Eudovic, Saint Lucia’s master sculptor, died at his home in Goodlands on June 2, aged 83.
Born in Babonneau, Eudovic started sculpting at a very young age and took part in his first exhibition when he was only 12. His sculpture, Ali Baba, won the first prize of $15.
He later migrated to Trinidad to continue his studies in sculpting and became a protégé of famed artist Ricardo Vincenté.
When he returned to Saint Lucia he taught art and craft at the Choiseul handicraft centre.
Through a United Nations scholarship he travelled to Nigeria, where he studied monumental sculptures and the traditional art of Yoruba as well as modern art.
Eudovic returned to Saint Lucia to share his skills and also conducted workshops throughout the Caribbean. He later opened his own gallery and workshop at Goodlands, Castries, which is a major tourist attraction.
Eudovic participated and won many competitions over the years. His work has also been exhibited worldwide and can be found in museums and private collections. His pieces have also been commissioned by many governments and regional and international organisations.
