With a lifelong love for learning and fascination for the intersection of art, science, and the history of human endeavor, the creative mind, Paxton Paganelli, first envisioned PAX HUMANUM while at University. Unsatisfied and unsettled with the mediocrity of the status quo, and the complacency with hatred and intolerance, Paxton created PAX HUMANUM to challenge the culture of apathy. PAX HUMANUM evolved from a vision to unite art and science, in order to commission the work and people vital for an era of prosperity for our human species. Empowerment for human peace.

As a self-taught metal smith, Paxton finds refuge in creating livable sculptures and has fostered an appreciation for the delicate intricacies and masterful science of working with silver. He fuses the visual beauty of his silver masterpieces with the beauty he envisions for an enlightened and peaceful humanity. With meticulous attention to detail and steadfast eye for excellence, Paxton breathes life into the creation of every PAX HUMANUM original.

PAX HUMANUM is a force for good. Each piece invites and a reminds both the wearer and observer that our individual decisions and actions, as humans, matter. In a similar way, each piece stands for the responsibility and duty we have to respect one-another and this planet we call home. With every purchase of a PAX HUMANUM original, profits are used directly for advancing human prosperity.

Paxton believes that central to PAX HUMANUM's mission to empower for human peace is the value that health is freedom. That is why Paxton founded Future of Human Health and Medicine Organization (FHHMO), an Annapolis-based health equity nonprofit working to enhance inclusivity and diversity in the advancement of human health and medicine through empowering high school students. Paxton created PAX HUMANUM to use his creativity and vision to visually symbolize and support vital causes such as FHHMO.
