ENZO SELVAGGI Principal, Heritage Liturgical
Enzo Selvaggi leads a team of designers, artists, and craftsmen to create singular, compelling liturgical spaces and sacred art through the firm he founded in 2008, Heritage Liturgical.
Heritage Liturgical is committed to art which communicates the presence of the Divine in our midst. It is a vibrant atelier which offers an array of specializations and unique competence in the fields of Liturgical Design, Art Direction, and Art Brokerage.
Through acclaimed murals, award-winning mosaics, exquisite hand carved statuary, authentic french paneling, decorative finishes and effects, and fine art both new and antique, artisans at Heritage employ the grammar of traditional art to create spaces of aesthetic value and spiritual meaning.
American-born, Selvaggi grew up in Italy, and continued his university education in the Tuscan hills, where his connection to art and architecture blossomed. Tapping into his traditional European education, Selvaggi weaves the ancient canons of composition with the dynamism and breadth of contemporary styles and techniques.
Heritage Liturgical gained national recognition for the murals at Saint John Chrysostom in Inglewood, in 2015. In 2016, Heritage Liturgical composed the official image of the National Black Catholic Congress in Orlando, Florida, and Heritage’s sacred vestments were described as “ideal” by the Liturgical Arts Journal in 2018.
Today, Selvaggi is leading art direction for major new church construction projects in Southern California, and the Mid-West.
