George Badawi
Stone sculptor and designer
Â
As an artist and sculptor, I have dedicated my career to exploring innovative structures and pushing the boundaries of design across a variety of mediums. My creative process is deeply rooted in transforming materials such as stone, silver, gold, wood, and metals into pieces that challenge traditional notions of form. I am fascinated how these materials can convey a range of emotions and narratives through their unique forms and expressions. Through my art, I seek to redefine the possibilities of design, crafting new dimensions that invite viewers to engage with form and structure in rather unexpected ways.Â

Born in Aleppo, Syria, I began my artistic journey as a jeweler before pursuing formal studies in sculpture and design. This experience gave me an understanding of the interplay between craftsmanship and creativity, which fueled my interest in sculpture and design. After relocating to Athens, I worked as a jewelry designer for over a decade. In 2000, I moved to Sweden, where I have since embraced a broader artistic practice and expanded my work into large-scale sculptures. Since then, my sculptures have been featured in numerous national exhibitions in Sweden and has garnered international attention, with sculptures showcased in Denmark, Germany, Great Britain, and Saudi Arabia.
