For over 28 years, Peter Syndicas has crafted abstract figurative sculptures inspired by the intricate patterns of plant life. His artistic journey began with a chance discovery of a simple twig that resembled an abstract human form, sparking an ongoing exploration of the figurative in organic fractals. Twigs—fragile and shaped by the elements—served as the foundation for his larger works, which are translated into bronze, steel, and stone, offering a striking contrast to their natural delicacy.
Raised as the son of artist Anthony Syndicas, Peter never formally studied art. Instead, he developed his techniques through trial and error, driven by a desire to recreate these forms on a grander scale. Over time, he honed his skills across a variety of mediums and has recently become passionate about working with Australian stones, particularly South Australian marbles, granites, and stromatolites.
Peter’s work is represented by galleries across Australia and held in private collections worldwide, including in Dubai, Singapore, and the United States. His art was recently featured in a commissioned series of large-scale sculptures for the Marina Bay Sands refurbishment in Singapore, further cementing his reputation on the international stage.
Today, Syndicas continues to explore his fascination with fractals in nature, drawing endless inspiration from the world around him.
