About the Artist

The Artist's Journey

Siniša Cvetić is a sculptor born in 1967 in Potok, Croatia.

After completing his education, he spent an extended period living in Germany and the Czech Republic, exploring and searching for his path.

Following a series of experiments in both his personal and professional life, he discovered his true calling in artistic creation—sculptures.

"I seek to capture the dialogue between natural forms and modern expression, 

finding harmony in the contrast between traditional materials and contemporary vision."

Artistic Philosophy

Working primarily with wood, metal, and other natural materials, Siniša brings to life organic and abstract forms that embody both strength and fluidity. He recognizes wood as a medium with centuries-old, limitless positive energy, while metal introduces contrast, depth, and a sense of modernity.

Through his sculptures and other unique works, he strives to convey this energy and harmony to the audience, creating pieces that bridge tradition and contemporary artistic expression.

Organic Forms in Abstraction

During the 1950s and 1960s in Europe, including Croatia, both figurative and non-figurative art coexisted. The forms inspired by Brâncuși and Moore were simultaneously abstract and figurative, deeply rooted in anthropomorphic origins. Siniša Cvetić draws inspiration from the aesthetics of the 1950s, working primarily with olive, walnut, and plum wood, as well as metal.

He simplifies and condenses volume while omitting narration.

His delicate forms, free from storytelling, are plastically simple, appearing solid and enclosed within a core-like structure. The morphological purity of his shapes, defined by tense spherical forms, is animated by hollowed-out spaces. At times, the core itself becomes an empty space around which dynamic volumes extend. The natural grain of olive wood negates and enhances the sense of volume simultaneously, adding a unique dynamism to his sculptures. A luminous metal sphere creates a striking counterpoint to the organic forms crafted from olive, walnut, or plum wood.

Despite their small size and intimate nature, Cvetić’s sculptures, with their refined stylization, evoke a sense of monumentality. They are like haiku verses—pure, simple, and elegantly shaped. Their finely polished surfaces and dynamic compositional perspectives delight the eye, offering a space for associative and contemplative reflection.
