Pavel Barta
Pavel Barta is a Canadian sculptor living in Campbell River, British Columbia.
Pavel came to Canada in 1997 from the Czech Republic. He worked as graphic designer for a Publishing House in Prague for many years, during that time he started to consider an escape from computer art and became fascinated by hand made art. He began using materials such as wood, clay, paper, and metal to create original miniature sculptures, each one unique as he does not use molds or patterns. When he emigrated to Canada he became interested in stone and bronze sculptures and in 2007 he started to work with another medium - fiberglass - to create large scale outdoor sculptures. His large scale sculptures can be seen in Campbell River, Kelowna, 108 Mile Ranch, 100 Mile House, Banff, Clinton, Heffley Creek and Sun Peaks.
Pavel’s sculptures are displayed in several galleries in British Columbia. His artwork has also found its place in private collections across Canada, Europe, USA, New Zealand, and Australia. He has had one-man shows in Williams Lake, 100 Mile House, Hope, Coquitlam, and Kelowna. He was guest artist at Ars Longa art shows in Kelowna in 2007, 2008, and 2012. His sculpture design was chosen as The Okanagan Art Council Award for 2008. In 2010 and 2011 he participated in group shows in CityScape Community Art Space in North Vancouver.
