Story / Additional InfoThis work has an obvious link to Auguste Rodin's The Thinker, but through it I explore the limits of humanistic perception of the world by man (by a human being). The image of the bull has inspired artists for centuries, and in creating this sculpture, I sought to offer my own vision, one that combines strength and tranquility, contemplation and energy.
In my art, I strive to make visible also the inner, mystical side of my creations. For me, zoomorphic images are not merely representations of animals, but rather philosophical concepts, an attempt to comprehend the world through the prism of archetypes that have their roots in the depths of time. After all, our ancestors perceived the world precisely through zoomorphic images, where animals often served as totems, symbols, intermediaries between humans and nature.
In this sculpture, I have tried to combine powerful archaic images, reminiscent of early art, particularly the cave paintings of Altamira, with the refinement and harmony of ancient Greek sculpture. I was interested in exploring how these two layers of different cultures could coexist in a single work, how they can interact and enrich each other. Of course, there are also allusions to well-known images, such as the Minotaur or Rodin's "Thinker," but these are rather points of reference, certain markers that help the viewer navigate my creative space.
Through this complex combination, through the dialogue between past and present, I explore the boundaries of humanity's humanistic perception of the world. It is important for me to understand how we, the people of the 21st century, can rethink these ancient images, how they can help us better understand ourselves and our place in the world.
