   Najim Chechen knew at an early age that he wanted to be a sculptor. He received an academic training in sculpture and later received his MFA from Pratt Institute. He worked as an apprentice for five years with a master sculptor and learned how to cast larger than life monumental sculptures. His adventures also included visiting numerous artists and craftsmen in many Middle Eastern and North African countries where he discovered centuries old low-tech methods and techniques. From his travels throughout Europe and the U.S. he encountered new materials and modern techniques. He has completed dozens of commissions for clients in the U.S., Europe and the Middle East.
   
   Recently he opened his own atelier school and foundry, Fine Art Studios and founded the Hudson Valley Sculptors Society.
