The large corporation needs you to be a software engineer so it can sell things that people want and are willing to pay money for. If you can sell your sculptures for as much as your software engineering job pays, you should do that. Otherwise, you're asking for society to subsidize your hobby in the same way that society would be subsidizing my hobbies if I were paid to stay home all day. I'd probably even sculpt sometimes if that were the case.
