View CollectionAbout the Artist
Evelyn Michaelides is a sculptor based in Melbourne, Victoria, whose work is influenced by her Mediterranean heritage. Each piece is intuitively hand-carved and handmade, celebrating the relationship between material and form.
Her sculptures evoke a sense of calm, inviting viewers into a world of aesthetic repose. Drawing inspiration from nature, ancient traditions, and the human experience, Evelyn explores the interplay of light, shadow, and texture. Her works carry a quiet presence, embodying a timeless quality that resonates with both contemporary and classical sensibilities.
Working primarily with limestone, Evelyn embraces the raw beauty of her medium, allowing each sculpture to emerge naturally through the carving process. This intuitive approach fosters a deep connection between the artist, the material, and the final form.
Evelyn continues to develop her practice, exploring new ways to express balance, movement, and serenity through sculpture.
Evelyn was nominated for the prestigious Omnia Art Prize 2025 for her sculpture Poima.
Process & Materials
Considered, tactile and calm — every stage is finished by hand to preserve the softness of the stone.
Materials
Local limestone and hebel blocks, chosen for open grain and warmth.
Process
My process is a gradual unfolding. With every sculpture, I am learning to carve with more clarity and calm, letting the stone guide the form. It’s a slow, hand-led refinement that continues to shape my work.
Made to Order
Consultation, sketches, and measured lead times for bespoke works. Sculptures can be made in standard size or mini size on request.
Each sculpture is recreated as closely as possible to the original dimensions, however the handmade process means subtle variations in colour, shape and size will naturally occur.
No two pieces are ever the same.
Every block of limestone carries its own characteristics — fossils, shells and unique formations that make each sculpture truly one of a kind.
Care for your sculpture, although the stone may appear sturdy, it is delicate and porous, so please handle it with care.
Treat it as a priceless work of art first, and a functional piece, second.
