Peter Mandl - the sculpturor of movement and grace
Peter Mandl has devoted his life to sculptures. Through a form and melding technique, which has made him a name within the sculpting arena, he captures fleeting moments in solid forms of glass and bronze, rendering the spectator both curious and calm at the very same time. Movements reminiscent of the elements, shapes found in nature, the human body, are frozen still yet forever moving, telling a story, pleasing the eye, feeding the mind and caressing the soul. Peter Mandls exquisite sculptures can be seen in private and public art collections all over the world.
