About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.
"Hippocampus" by Andrzej Szymczyk is a captivating bronze sculpture, Limited edition of 24 inspired by the ancient Greek word hippókampos, meaning "sea monster" or "sea animal." This piece embodies the mythical essence of the hippocampus while grounding it in the natural beauty of the seahorse. With its head slightly bowed and body adorned in bony armor, the sculpture conveys both grace and resilience, as if the creature is silently navigating the ocean's depths.
The bronze's greenish patina lends a marine feel, evoking the ancient seas where myth and reality intertwine. Through contemporary realism, Szymczyk crafts a visual narrative that delves into the themes of aspiration and the fragility of marine life, capturing the seahorse’s quiet strength.
Signed and ready for display, this stunning work is available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea, and online.

He has exhibited in Poland, Germany and now the UK. From concept to completion Andrzej’s sculpture is created and finished entirely by Andrzej. 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.
