Michael Vaynman

I have worked as a professional artist since 2001, specialising in figurative and abstract bronze and stainless steel sculpture.

The idea of beauty and design is a strong component of my contemporary art practice and each artwork strives to develop the aesthetic perfection of line and form within the context of the human experience.

Currently my interest is in exploring the notion of the ‘Sublime’ through the lens of sculpture with works like ‘Hope’, ‘Up,Up and Away’, ‘Creation of Man’, and ‘Death of a Star’.
