Hawk Head by Walenty Pytel, Steel, Signed, Unique, 35cm high, 33cm wide, 12cm deep

Hawk Head by Walenty Pytel is a striking steel sculpture that captures the essence of a bird of prey in a bold, abstract form. Standing 35 cm high, 33 cm wide, and 12 cm deep, the piece features the head of a hawk mounted upwards, with its chest puffed out and beak slightly open. The design embraces a more folk-inspired aesthetic, leaning into the material’s natural ruggedness rather than aiming for realistic representation.

Thin strips of metal extend back from the head to suggest feathers, while the hollowed eyes allow light to pass through, giving the sculpture a dynamic, almost living presence. The clear welding marks and rough finish add texture and character, emphasizing the piece’s industrial quality. Coated in a matte black finish, the sculpture exudes strength and presence.

The Hawk Head is a captivating blend of abstraction and symbolism, with its angular lines and raw materials evoking the power and spirit of the bird it represents. Its bold, rugged form makes it a standout piece in any modern space, offering a striking visual contrast and a sense of movement. Whether displayed in a gallery or as a statement piece in a home, this sculpture commands attention with its unique, contemporary style.
