Artist Focus


Artist Focus: Kim Seyesnem Obrzut

Kim Seyesnem Obrzut has spent more than four decades creating bronze sculptures that honor the spiritual traditions, cultural values and enduring beauty of Hopi life. Recognized as the first Hopi woman to work in bronze, Obrzut has built a distinguished career defined by graceful forms, symbolic storytelling, and a profound connection to nature and humanity.

Born of Clay, bronze, 23 x 8½ x 6½ in.

Raised within the traditions of the Hopi people, Obrzut drew early inspiration from her grandfather, a respected Kachina carver whose teachings instilled in her a lifelong appreciation for craftsmanship, spirituality and cultural preservation. Those influences continue to shape her work today. Her signature faceless figures encourage viewers to look beyond outward identity and recognize the shared human spirit that connects every generation and culture. Flowing lines and sculptural movement inspired by the natural world further reflect themes of harmony, balance, peace and reverence for the earth.

Greeting the Sun, bronze, 77 x 7 x 22 in.

Obrzut’s sculptures are celebrated not only for their artistic beauty, but also for their ability to communicate universal emotions through the lens of Hopi tradition. Through bronze, she transforms cultural teachings into timeless works of art that resonate with collectors around the world.

Obrzut’s work is featured in prestigious galleries and juried art shows throughout the Southwest, including exhibitions at La Fonda during the Santa Fe Indian Market and the Wigwam Festival of Fine Art at the historic Wigwam Resort in Litchfield, Arizona. —
