Mik Simčič

Sculptor. Painter. Creator. Artist.

Mik Simcic is a globally recognised academic sculptor and painter whose life has been profoundly shaped by art since his teenage years. His artistic expression continuously oscillates between Nordic restraint and Mediterranean softness, with both his paintings and sculptures serving as refined manifestations of a deeper spiritual state. At heart, he remains an artist driven by an unrelenting desire to challenge himself and to express his vision through ever more demanding artistic endeavours, particularly in sculpture.

When the creation of a sculpture approaches its final stage and even a millimetrethin layer of removed stone could be decisive, only a small file remains no larger than a nail file and countless hours of manual grinding and polishing that wear away the skin on my fingertips.

Master of
timeless artistic form

Mik Simcic is a multidisciplinary artist who successfully unites classical mastery with contemporary expression. Through monumental sculptures, portraits of Pope Francis, and a strong international presence, he has become a recognised creator who continually pushes the boundaries of artistic expression. His artistic vision, infused with a deep sensitivity to symbolism and aesthetics, also played a defining role in the creation of the unique VersusBronze model.

Exclusive sculptural portraits of Pope Francis

BUST SCULPTURE IN CARRARA MARBLE

Exclusive sculptural portraits of
Pope Francis

Mik was given an extraordinary opportunity when Pope Francis invited him to create his sculptural portrait in stone. At the same time, this collaboration resulted in the largest series of portraits of a living pope in the history of the Vatican. Seven bronze portraits portray different states of mind and are collectively titled “The Seven Infinite Moments of Pope Francis”. One of these likenesses was carved by Mik in waxwhite Carrara marble and presented to the Pope as a bust during a private audience in June 2019.

Sculpture The Abduction of Europa

BRONZE SCULPTURE

The monumental sculpture
The Abduction of Europa

The opening of Slovenia’s tallest building, the Crystal Palace in BTC Ljubljana, was marked by the installation of the monumental sculpture The Abduction of Europa, created from bronze, glass, and stone. A brilliant interplay of fragility and strength unfolds across vertical glass panels that support a bronze sculpture weighing several tonnes.
