Harold Balazs (Ohio, 1928) is an American artist know for his copper enamel art and large scale abstract metal sculptures. Balazs began working with steel at his father's sheet metal business where he developed his metal fabrication skills. He initially studied aeronautical engineering, but as fate would have it, a dispute with a professor landed him in an art course and as they say- the rest is history.
