Chapel for Sydney was created by Czech artist, Vaclav Fiala. The 5.5m high sculpture was acquired through the Lexus Prize for Sculpture in 2005. It was his second win of a major prize in Sculpture by the Sea. Vaclav has an extensive international career and works in a variety of mediums including stone, wood and iron.

His sculptural approach is based on the reduction of shapes and is often inspired by architecture.
