Inwocatio Apocalypsis (Diptych) It consists of two separate monoliths of gilded bronze castings, but matching elements - two monumental, mythical heads. When these two parts are combined, they create a new, shared form that evokes mixed feelings in the observer. The sculptures can be separated to have 2 separate pieces, or combined to form 3 separate abstract forms together. On the one hand, these impressive, majestic heads with superhuman features emanate strength and unwavering power. Their monumental character suggests that they may represent higher-order forces, perhaps even divine or cosmic. Joined together, they create an image of unity and harmony, symbolizing the potential for transformation or even rebirth. However, the very act of connecting these two elements also arouses unease. They appear to portend impending changes, perhaps difficult or even catastrophic. Their combined form seems to herald an apocalypse or great transformation. Observers have an irresistible impression that they are witnessing something of great significance, something that heralds the arrival of something extremely momentous - whether good or bad. This sculpture compels the viewer to reflect on the cycles of change that permeate human existence. It encourages deeper consideration of the nature of change - whether it is necessary and inevitable, or perhaps even dangerous? It leaves the observer in a state of confusion, confronting them with ambivalence towards the forces that have the power to shape human destiny.

Krzysztof Plonka is a sculptor, painter and versatile multimedia artist . In addition to creating monumental, sophisticated bronze monoliths, he has been engaged in creating cinematic art, games and music videos for years. By combining a variety of means of expression, he composes precise and avant-garde works on the border of art, film and new media. He collaborated on special effects for productions such as "Avatar II", "Get Even", "The Witcher" and "Medium". His diverse work goes beyond the film industry, also encompassing painting and sculpture, immersed in the current of surrealism. He draws inspiration from the artistic heritage of surrealist masters such as H.R. Giger and Zdzisław Beksiński, creating a futuristic fusion from it. He consistently crosses the boundaries of established conventions, mixing incompatible registers. He creates hybrid objects, performances and installations that question established modes of perception. He materializes visions that elude rational conceptualization, provoking new, refined aesthetic experiences. Encountering the work of this artist, the viewer experiences a variety of emotions - from anxiety and disorientation to spiritual and transcendental experiences. His works emanate a sense of encountering art from another planet, forcing the viewer to abandon established categories and conventions. Rejecting mimetic representations, he confronts the viewer with a construct of seemingly contradictory elements, generating an effect of destabilizing fascination. In this way, he develops an idiom of unstable reality, based on discontinuous, dynamic configurations. His practice constantly challenges established taxonomies, dismantling the boundaries between creative disciplines.
