About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.
This stunning bronze sculpture titled "Seahorse" encapsulates the delicate, ethereal beauty of the seahorse through a modern lens. The piece stands gracefully on its spiraled tail, as if frozen in a moment of serene motion, with its head bowed slightly downward, capturing the animal's natural elegance. The golden hue brings a warmth and richness to the form, elevating the abstracted silhouette into a sleek, contemporary representation of nature.
In this work, Szymczyk masterfully blends the organic with the modern, creating a harmonious balance between the natural curves of the seahorse and the human-made material. The figure is abstract yet instantly recognizable, showcasing the artist's skill in simplifying the complex beauty of marine life into clean, flowing lines. The result is a sculpture that feels both timeless and innovative, inviting viewers to reflect on the interplay between nature and artistry.
This contemporary realism piece is signed by the artist and ready for display. It is currently available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea, London, as well as online. The sculpture’s golden tones and elegant form make it a striking addition to any modern collection.
Artist Biography:

He casts his own bronze and applies and finishes his own carefully chosen patinas. He is truly an artist of perfection.
“I have practiced Judo since I was 7 and have competed at high international levels. The discipline has a significant impact on every aspect of my personality. The mindset of judo is also the way in which I approach my life. For me it means dealing with problems and tasks in resourceful manners and never settling for anything less than the absolute best. In terms of my sculpture, I require myself to be perfect at every stage along the way to completing a finished piece. These highest standards of perfection are what I strive to live by and are what guide me in my art.” – Andrzej Szymczyk

Andrzej Szymczyk
In hyperrealistic figurative bronze sculptures and other works that draw on marine life and the human form, Polish artist Andrzej Szymczyk demonstrates extreme precision and attention to detail in his endeavors to interpret the wonders and fragility of nature.
Born in 1972 in Krakow, Szymczyk studied at Newcastle University’s Fine Arts Department from 2010 to 2011 before earning an MA degree in Fine Arts in Sculpture from the Academy of Fine Arts in his native city in 2012. Later that year, he moved to London and became a member of the Bow Arts Trust in 2013 and a member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists.
As a keen diver, many of Szymcyzk’s still-life sculptures, such as his intricate Siamese Fighter, Devil Firefish and Seahorse Couple, were influenced by his visits to Madagascar while exploring the country’s stunning coral reefs. His work isn’t relegated to depictions of marine life, however. Nude sculptures such as his Warrior Woman of Kau created in his studio in London’s East End explore the essence of female strength and power.
Szymczyk has exhibited his sculptures at galleries and exhibitions throughout Poland, the UK and Germany. His works are highly sought by collectors and interior designers.
