Peter Syndicas
—

Since 1997 Peter Syndicas’ sculptures have been inspired by his fascination with organic shapes in their simplest forms - fractals of nature. Twigs - fragile, precious, shaped by the elements. Delicately carved, the revealed forms are translated on a magnified scale and immortalised in bronze, steel or stone - a stark contrast to their fragile nature.

“I search specifically for twigs that portray a human figure as it gives each sculpture of mine a unique duality. On the one hand they are magnified reproductions of fragile twigs, while at the same time they display these very expressive abstract human forms… I love that my sculptures allow people to see fragments of plant life, as works of art”   

With numerous solo and group exhibitions spanning over two decades, Syndicas’ works are held in private and corporate collections locally and nationally as well as having been a finalist in significant national art prizes.
