Whether it’s custom fencing, gates, lighting fixtures or an internationally recognized fine art sculpture, the team at Artisan Metal Works creates outstanding local metalwork in its Cayman Islands workshop.
Cayman Islands artist and precision metal fabricator Karoly Szücs is grateful for the discipline his father gave him to pursue his chosen career: “My father always told me, ‘son you should always have a trade’. I was 14 years old when I went to trade school. I became an autobody repairman for three years, which gave me a very good foundation for what I do today … shaping the metal, learning the tools. I’ve been relying most of my career on what I learned there.”
As the owner of Artisan Metal Works, Szücs runs his award-winning custom metal fabrication company from modern facilities in George Town, Grand Cayman. Here, his team of craftsmen build quality, custom metalwork that is representative of fine art pieces of the Cayman Islands commissioned for hotels, homes and businesses across the islands.
Since founding the company in 2002, Hungarian-born Szücs has relished the opportunity to create something from nothing but a raw piece of material. “It’s always difficult to make something for a client, especially when they give you only part of an idea, or sometimes they have no idea what they want,” he says of some commissions, such as home decor metal art in Cayman Islands. “But it’s up to me to make sense of sometimes nothing. Sometimes I see the end product only half of the way in, or when I’m almost finished.”
