Nic Fiddian-Green, born in Hampshire in 1963, is best known as an equestrian sculptor, primarily working in bronze and beaten lead.

Nic has been fascinated by the horse's head since his student days, when studying sculpture at the Chelsea College of Art he saw the 5th century Horse of Selene, part of the Parthenon at The British Museum and this sparked his lifelong obsession.

He has work in many important private and corporate collections and has exhibited in major galleries in Paris, Perugia in Italy, PAD in New York, Sydney and Hong Kong, as well as at most important Art Fairs such as Tefaf Maastricht, Dubai and Masterpiece London.

The spirit and power of the horse has been his obsession for 30 years and this passion makes his work take on a spiritual quality. He is an artist of our time yet his work embodies the classical Greek principles of beauty, serenity and harmony, but with a raw, natural power and strength, as if symbolic of the earth it came from. Casting Bronze, patination and the alchemy of metals have been a fascination for Nic since his student days.
