George Mendonis

I was born in London and raised in Cyprus, where my fascination with both art and mechanics began at an early age. After moving to New York City in my late teens, I pursued my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Mechanical Engineering, while also studying art and photography. Over the years, I’ve lived and worked in the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom, and now reside in Nicosia, Cyprus.

Art has always been a constant in my life. What began as sketching and painting has evolved into the 3D mixed media sculptures I create today. My work blends mythology, fantasy, and industrial realism, drawing inspiration from mythic storytelling, gaming universes, and the contrast between creation and decay. I combine traditional sculpting with modern materials—resin, metal, and reclaimed elements—to craft pieces that feel both timeless and otherworldly.

My engineering background gives me a deep respect for structure, precision, and process—qualities that influence how I build each work. Yet at the heart of every sculpture lies emotion and narrative: a sense of myth reborn through material form.

Although I am still in transition toward becoming a full-time artist, I see myself as an emerging voice—an undiscovered storyteller workin...

I hold a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the City College of the City University of New York, where I also pursued studies in art and photography. This blend of technical precision and creative exploration continues to shape my sculptural practice, allowing me to merge engineering structure with artistic expression in every piece I create.

As an emerging artist, I am in the process of preparing my debut exhibition, which will feature a curated selection of my 3D mixed media sculptures. My focus is on building a cohesive body of work that bridges mythology, fantasy, and mechanical realism—laying the foundation for future solo and group shows.
