12-Year-Old Boy Creates Creepy Sculptures Using Found Materials, And They’re Surprisingly Awesome
Most people don’t know what they want to do with their lives when they’re 20, but Callum Donovan Grujicich isn’t most people. This kid is only 12 years old, and he looks like he has already found his biggest passion – sculpture art.
“I started making things when I was about two years old,” Callum says. “I made sculptures out of fabric.” As time went on, Callum’s artistic expression has evolved. “I started experimenting with making my own art materials out of toilet paper, dry wool compound, mineral oil, and glue.”
Later, the boy took things even further with his unique artworks and began putting different art mediums together. “I like to use a lot of found objects. Whenever I go outside I’m always scavenging for bits of metal. I’m always looking on the ground for them.”
You could say Callum’s cool sculptures look melancholic or even creepy. Either way, you wouldn’t be wrong. “People always ask what my sculptures mean but I don’t really like to talk about meaning. I want people to decide what they think it means instead of me telling them.”

Wow, these are fantastic! Lucky Callum finding good passion at such a young age, and lucky is getting to see the results!
I love it, don't need the dolls -just take my money. Keep being creative!
This is some of the most original, effective sculpture I've seen in years. I want to see what he does with clay.
This is what happens when a child's imagination is allowed to flourish. Bravo, Callum: keep making the world a more interesting place to be.
He is talented and gifted... Unlike me, 27yo who can't do anything. *Sob... Sob... Sniff!!!

I don't know why people think they are creepy. They are surrealistic but they are imaginative and heartfelt.
Absolutely amazing. What a talent, and he's so creative, and only twelve!!! Wow.
Whoaaa. For 12 years old these are incredibly creative and detailed. Well done! Perfect time to promote these before Halloween!

I'm slightly concerned for his mental well being but these are very amazing and well done!
Oh stop it. Let's not armchair diagnose things because he has a surrealistic art style.

He's a kid. Why label him with pretentious? Maybe he would prefer people decide than impose his beliefs on them.
