Hrvoje Dumancić’s sculpture is shaped by a rare dual authority: rigorous academic training and lived equestrian experience. His works carry structural precision, but also an internal knowledge of balance, movement, and contained force.
Dumancić’s practice centers on the horse as both artistic language and lived reality. Formally trained in sculpture in Zagreb and shaped by a long relationship with riding, he creates equine forms that reflect anatomical clarity, compositional balance, and a deep familiarity with motion held in suspension.
His work remains grounded in classical European sculptural discipline, yet it avoids academic distance. There is always something human in the restraint: the sense of breath, muscular power, and poised stillness. The horse emerges not simply as subject, but as structure, memory, and presence.
What distinguishes Dumancić is the authenticity of that understanding. He knows the horse not only visually, but physically. That embodied knowledge gives the sculpture a credibility that feels immediate and lasting.
Medium - Sculpture || Materials - Kaolin, Acrystal, Alumninum
Dimensions - Collectible-scale pieces to large-scale works, & life-size public installations
Dumancić’s practice reflects a disciplined sculptural process rooted in academic training, proportional rigor, and sustained refinement. Across scales, his work balances formal resolution with an intuitive understanding of equine movement and weight distribution.
These sculptures are best encountered in person, where their equilibrium between muscular force and compositional stillness becomes clear. Scale matters, but so does proximity. The work reveals its intelligence through contour, pause, and measured tension.
