Step into the underwater realm with "Bontana" by the talented Andrzej Szymczyk, a captivating bronze sculpture that celebrates the mystique of wildlife. Crafted with precision and passion, this original tabletop masterpiece brings the beauty of the ocean to your fingertips.
Marvel at the abstract style of "Bontana," where the form of a Bontana fish, commonly known as the Dog-face pufferfish, emerges gracefully from the depths. Its intricate details and fluid lines capture the essence of movement, as if suspended in a dance with the currents. The fish's tail delicately rests upon a coral, adding a touch of natural elegance to the composition.
The color scheme of "Bontana" is reminiscent of the rich hues of bronze, infusing warmth and depth into the sculpture. Each curve and contour is bathed in the subtle sheen of this timeless medium, inviting the viewer to explore its every nuance.
As a testament to its authenticity, the artwork bears the signature of the artist, a mark of quality and craftsmanship. "Bontana" is not just a sculpture; it's a statement piece, ready to take pride of place in any art lover's collection.
For those eager to make "Bontana" a part of their lives, the sculpture is available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art, Chelsea, both in-person and online. Dive into the world of "Bontana" and experience the magic of the ocean brought to life in bronze.
"Bontana , Dog-face pufferfish, Bontana (Malagasy name for "fat" fish) commonly known as Dogface Pufferfish. This friendly looking fish was frequently seen around coral reef of northern coasts of Madagascar. I've been scuba diving there since 2020 exploring marine wildlife and getting inspired. This sculpture is a part of my most recent collection Madagascar 2022. " ------Andrzej Szymczyk

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.
