Biography

Robert William Sievier bridged the arts and sciences as both an inventor and a sculptor, seeking new ways to give form to human creativity. His experiments with electroplating and metalwork expanded the tools available to artists, while his own sculptures captured the likeness and spirit of his subjects with refined attention.

At Kensal Green, his resting place invites gratitude for the ingenuity he brought to every discipline he touched, leaving behind works that endure in both galleries and workshops.
