Igor Mitorj
The artist extols sculpture as a complete form of expression, which he considers the most anthropological of the arts. It is radically connected to human nature through its ability to interrogate the great existential questions. His works, smooth without relief or discontinuity, evoke reflections that encompass Greek philosophy, Zen Buddhism, and the cosmogony of many African cultures. Cast in black bronze right here in Pietrasanta, they embody universal archetypes of continuity and perfection.

His works, smooth without relief or discontinuity, evoke reflections that encompass Greek philosophy, Zen Buddhism, and the cosmogony of many African cultures. Cast in black bronze right here in Pietrasanta, they embody universal archetypes of continuity and perfection. His creations appear as fragments of that man who maintains the power of thought, of the great thought of the past that somehow he has the duty to pass on. The fractures present in Igor Mitoraj's works hark back to the mystery of the past, manifested precisely through those fragments of bodies, transforming them into artifacts capable of evoking times gone by. Despite the constant reference to the past as something not to be forgotten, his figures always seek to reflect the situation of contemporary man, the daily dramas that surround him, and the suffering. Through his sculptures, Igor Mitoraj chooses to side with the “losing heroes”.
