Albert Vrana

His sculptural forms are integrated with the shape of the built environment where they were to be set,[7] such as residential complexes, government office parks, university campuses, etc.

Although many of his pieces were Modernist, he considered his approach to be traditional; much of his work was "integrated as part of the structure and related to the specific building in both design and materials, in harmony, not conflict, with the architecture".

His work and its composition with regard to structures, with modular units and repetition, and with bas-relief is considered "both sculpture and structure"—especially in the six-story Professional Arts Building in Miami which consists of 200 pre-cast wall panels made with Lehigh cement which has been described as "the world's largest non-repetitive concrete bas relief".

[9] Art historian Kenneth Donahue, second Director of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art,[10] noted that Vrana is unceasing in his investigation of space mass relations in both his monumental works and his small sculptures using new materials and techniques, some which he developed himself, to achieve a "fusion of sculpture and architecture in a manner rarely accomplished since the Baroque era".

[12] Vrana was commissioned to create "Las Cuatro Razas" the sculptured mural that forms the façade of the Charles E. Perry Building at Florida International University in Miami and is intended to reflect that university's ethos of providing quality education to meet the needs of the diversity of Floridians[13] Other notable works include the "Evolution of Government" located at the Federal Building, Jacksonville, Florida.
