My creative inspiration stemmed from my imagination of time - space transformation and my contemplation of how animals adapt to different environments. I wondered how a hippocampus, accustomed to the fluid and serene underwater world, would exist in the rigid and dynamic urban setting. This led me to create a sculpture that not only captures the physical beauty of the hippocampus but also symbolizes the resilience and adaptability of life in the face of changing circumstances.
The theme of this work revolves around the relationship between time, space, and living organisms. When displayed in different scenarios, the sculpture seems to tell different stories of time and space. In a public square, it might evoke a sense of the ancient connection between humans and the sea, as if reminding us of our long - standing relationship with marine life. In a private garden, it could be seen as a symbol of a peaceful coexistence between nature and the modern home, a quiet reminder of the beauty that exists beyond the urban chaos.
In the realm of modern stainless - steel animal sculptures, my "Hippocampus" is a testament to my artistic exploration of the complex interplay between different temporal and spatial dimensions and the living world.

Sebastian Novaky, a contemporary German Pop artist born in 1986 in Düsseldorf, is renowned for his unique approach to sculpture. After studying at the National School of Fine Arts, he embarked on a journey that would redefine the boundaries of modern art.
Influenced by luminaries like Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami, and Robert Indiana, Novaky operates under the signature "New Wild" ethos. This philosophy is not just an artistic style but a way of life that seeks to transform negative impulses into positive emotions. His works, predominantly crafted from industrial materials such as resin, stainless - steel, corten steel, marble, and bronze, are a testament to his ability to blend the mundane with the extraordinary.
Novaky's favorite subjects, including monumental and decorative animals like lions, dragons, and black panthers, are rendered as polished, monochromatic totems. These sculptures are not mere representations but rather reflections of the more instinctive and impulsive aspects of human nature, refined through the pursuit of perfection.
Since 2014, he has been ranked among the top 10 best - selling modern artists in the world by Art Price, a testament to his global appeal. His works have graced numerous prestigious institutions and art fairs worldwide, including the Art Elysées, Art Paris, Artiferia in Bologna, INCEPTION Gallery, and Opera Gallery.
Novaky's sculptural style is a masterful blend of figurative art with a distinct, almost imperceptible sense of high fashion. His talent, skill, and lifelong dedication are evident in every piece, as he effortlessly combines vivacious energy with a jewel - like attention to detail, creating instantly recognizable works of art that are both beautiful collectibles and loving modern decorations. In his art, he encapsulates the beauty and wonder of his subjects, inviting viewers to see the world through his extraordinary eye.
