Sonny's new bronze sculpture collection celebrates our planet's last remaining wild places and the animals that call them home
The 'Earth' collection showcases five bronze sculptures and one monumental statue, portraying some of our world's most iconic wildlife.
Abstract pieces that allude to the movement of the animal are uniquely hand painted as a celebration of the color these creatures bring to our world.
The animals shift from realism to more loose representations as a way to show the fragility of nature and the delicate balance between chaos and order - an ongoing theme in Sonny's work.
The sculptures speak to the importance of protecting our Earth's last remaining wild places that are disappearing at an unprecedented rate.
From the arctic tundra to tropical jungles; from soaring forests to the open savanna - these wild spaces are vital to the survival of people, our planet and all wildlife across the globe.

Sonny launched the ‘Earth‘ collection with his first ever monumental bronze sculpture created in collaboration with Discovery, Inc. and unveiled at the United Nations Headquarters in New York to celebrate tigers and raise awareness for endangered species ahead of the 76th session of the UN General Assembly. The sculpture titled ‘Abhaya‘, placed at the entrance of the UN Plaza also draws attention to the UN’s Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, a call for the protection and revival of ecosystems around the world for the benefit of people and nature.

“Representing the resilience of nature and humanity, ‘Abhaya’ (meaning fearless) is a celebration of the color these animals bring to our world. In such challenging times, we can all draw inspiration from the tiger, a universal symbol of courage and strength. After a century of decline, wild tiger numbers are starting to increase. Yet, it’s important to remember that threats to tigers are ever present. This is why the tiger is depicted in motion, jumping forward into the future; a future that relies so heavily on the actions we take today. I’m honored to bring one of these iconic big cats to the United Nations and hope that it will serve as a reminder of the importance of protecting and conserving, not only tigers, but all wildlife across the globe.”
