Description : Volto nascosto

Bronze sculpture. Signature engraved on the right side of the neck, with the serial number 121/3250. Polish artist, mainly dedicated to sculpture but also set designer and painter, Igor Mitoraj draws extensively from the classical world and the protagonists of Greek myths to create a repertoire of figures with which to build his own very personal mythology. Heads, faces, eyes, mouths are elaborated by Mitoraj and returned to the viewer as fragments delicately recomposed or reworked by him. His works are intended to be a reminder of the passage of time, of our human weakness and fragility, but also the symbol of the resistance of beauty. Mitoraj said of his art: «I can say that for me Beauty is something that makes you dream, but it is much stronger than the dream. It is an ideal, a mirage, an enigma."
