The Artist Behind the Spiders
For more than 25 years, Peter Szucsy, a Hungarian illustrator and designer, dedicated his career to creating sinister beasts for video games. As a highly skilled art director and artist, he crafted several bizarre monsters that run rampant through the virtual world of video games. When he felt it was time to try something different, he conceived the amazing steampunk spider sculptures.
Crafting with Vintage Materials
These sculptures are crafted from various parts of vintage watches, medical equipment, and cameras. Rather than working with vector graphics and pixels, Szucsy brought this masterpiece to life by utilizing pieces sourced from antique watches and other vintage objects.
From Flea Markets to Masterpieces
While fabricating the intricate steampunk spider sculptures, Szucsy would visit a flea market near his home in search of antiques and materials, including rare, expensive vintage timepieces. However, he ensured that he didn’t dismantle any timepieces that would be valued by an institution or museum.
A Vision Turned Reality
In an interview, Peter Szucsy stated, “I have been working as a video game artist and art director for many years. I made many monsters and creatures in the virtual world. But a few years ago, I felt it was about time that I created something different and unique. I’ve been planning to make such a spider in the real world, and now, it has come true.”

This masterpiece from Peter Szucsy continues his love for creative artwork in both the virtual and real worlds. Collecting every necessary part required to craft the intricate creatures—matching in material, style, and color—wasn’t easy. Nevertheless, Szucsy was determined to make this a reality.
Hanging this amazing steampunk spider sculpture on the wall offers a unique view of a spider climbing the wall, poised to capture its prey. Absolutely fantastic. As time goes by, we should expect more fine steampunk sculptures from Peter Szucsy. As someone who now enjoys handmade creations, we can anticipate that he will surpass our expectations with his next vintage piece.
