Contemporary Irish Sculptor Creating Copper, Steel and Timber Art in County Clare

Richard Andreucetti working in his studio creating contemporary artwork

I am Richard Andreucetti, a contemporary Irish sculptor based in County Clare, creating original works in copper, steel and timber from my studio in the West of Ireland.

My practice brings together metalworking skill, sculptural form and a reflective approach to making. Each piece is developed through close attention to balance, texture and presence, allowing the character of the material to remain visible in the finished work.

From one-of-a-kind sculptures and sculptural wall art to bespoke commissions for collectors, interiors and architectural spaces, every work is handcrafted with care and shaped by the dialogue between maker, material and place.

"Forged in Ireland and sculpted for the soul"

Please step inside, explore, and experience art that is forged with heart, hands, and heritage.

About Richard

About My Art Practice:  Metal Form and Spirit in Motion.

I am a Irish visual artist, metalwork sculptor and jewellery designer based in County Clare, Ireland. My creative journey began in Dublin as a metal fabricator, welder, draughtsman and design engineer, a foundation that continues to shape my art through precision, structure and a deep respect for the materials I create with.

My art practice fuses engineering discipline with artistic intuition, producing abstract metal sculptures, relief artworks and bespoke jewellery. Each creation explores the tension between order and chaos, structure and spontaneity, a visual language inspired by both Celtic heritage and the wild beauty of the Irish landscape and it's flora and fauna.

Working primarily with steel, aluminium, copper, timber and stainless steel, I see each metal as a living material, steel’s strength, aluminium’s lightness, copper’s warmth, all transformed through heat, movement and time. My hands-on process of welding, forging and forming reflects a conversation between craft and emotion, between the fluidity of nature and the rigidity of industry.

Living on the west coast of Ireland, the Atlantic winds, Burren stone, and coastal rhythm continuously influence my work. Nature’s textures and patterns, from spirals in seaweed to the complex structure of a leaf echo through my metal forms, infusing them with a sense of organic movement and Celtic resonance.

My jewellery pieces are extensions of this practice, miniature sculptures that carry the same themes of landscape, heritage and abstraction on a more intimate, wearable scale. Each piece is a bridge between the monumental and the personal, between art and life.

In Clare’s creative community, I’ve found not just inspiration but belonging, a place that values experimentation, collaboration and the evolving story of Irish art. My journey from welder to artist feels like a circle completed: metal, fire, and form united in expression.
