About The Artwork

Chapel on a Rock is one of my first bronze sculptures. It is made at the same size of the original in ceramic. The theme evoked is surely the need for calm and rest, the one you need for example for prayer. Chapel on a rock is probably the modest dwelling - chapel of a hermit who secluded himself from the rest of the world to be as close as God as he possibly could. Hence the position of the chapel at the highest possible point of this impressive rock overlooking a forest on one side, and a river on the other. A very impressive mountain landscape for a spectacular retreat of extraordinary humans who crave a simple and saint life. I am just at owe at those forefathers of ours who gave their entire life in the worship of the Lord, not mentioning the amount of energy just to build a chapel on the top of this rock! Mankind is capable of the most beautiful deeds. It is reassuring and giving peace to the mind and soul. This is why this piece is one of my favorites, as it pleases me deep inside.

I am a French and Polish artist, born in Paris in 1972. Coming from a family of artists (my mother Julita is a sculptor, my sister Gabrielle a painter, my brother Pierre a music composer...) I've expressed myself in my childhood mainly through drawing. Then for many years I dropped art totally and went into studies and work, to realise a few years back I cannot live without creating. A peak time is my New York experience for a few month in 2008, where I briefly just plunged into creation, before coming back to what had become my normal everyday life... After that, this urge for creation has grown on me progressively until a recent making out in 2011, when returning from a very enriching experience as a plumber in Bangladesh slums, where I had spent about a year and a half... Quite lost at my return home, I can say I slowly came back to myself only through art. The action of sculpting was a highly restructuring experience to me.It rebuilt me and gave a new meaning to my life. Since then, I've been creating and considering myself as an artist. In the meantime I got married and am a father of adorable twin boys, born in 2016. With this parenthood experience my creation has necessarily evolved, I considered myself primarily as a sculptor, but with restricted time and access to my clay workshop in Touraine I had much frustration. Hence my latest sculpture projects with various materials including recyclables and rubbish, my recent return to drawing, my discovery of collage and also painting to a lesser extent. Today, another page will be turned with our installation mid 2017 in a new house in Saint Cloud, near Paris, with the possibility of having a workshop at home, and generally more space and more time dedicated to creation.
