Siri Hollander Sculptures

Siri Hollander, born in New York, lived most of her childhood in Andalusia, Spain, where the local community revolved around fairs and fiestas. Influenced by a family of artists and the pastoral atmosphere of Spain, she began sculpting at the age of 17. Hollander established a connection with the horses and other animals that surrounded her in her youth, and by apprenticing with several accomplished sculptors both in the United States and in Spain, she developed her sculptural form based on her unique subjects: horses and figurative forms. Hollander’s sculptural medium combines steel and cement creating her distinctive texture which brings her sculptures to life. Her horses evoke childhood days spent looking for ancient coins and spelunking in prehistoric caves, as well as exploring the ranching community in which she grew up. Hollander abstracts these forms, making her sculptures appear in motion, while also incorporating fine detail through spontaneity. The playful and graceful strength, Hollander’s work exudes can be seen in every size, from her tabletop works to her monumental sculptures. Hollander's work has been collected throughout the United States and Spain and can be seen in the International Airport in Malaga, Spain.
