Sirius No 1

About Sirius No 1

This monumental contemporary outdoor steel sculpture is by Viktor Mitic.

This compelling sculpture by Viktor Mitic is named for Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky. Forged from corten steel, its rust-coloured patina accentuates its dynamic form. Angles meet fluid curves in this piece, which appear to marry both geometric and abstracted shapes. Viktor Mitic has garnered an international reputation for his provocative and imaginative contemporary artwork, including sculptures and paintings.

“In my sculptures, I seek to evoke a sense of both wonder and contemplation, offering dynamic, multi-dimensional forms that invite viewers to explore the interaction between color, shape, and space.” Viktor Mitic
