PERSEUS - Sculpture by Igor Mitoraj Sculpture - Limited Edition of 100

Sculpture number: B208/1000 In order to create the work, he used the following techniques: stone and bronze. It is an alloy known from ancient times that gave its name to the entire Bronze Age. The primary constituents of bronze are copper and tin, although other metals are also used. This alloy owes its name to the town of Brundisium in Italy, which has become the center of bronze production. Casting technique made it tools for farmers and artisans, but it also became popular as an artistic material. As early as in the archaic period in Greece and in ancient Egypt, Persia and Asia Minor, bronze sculptures were obtained using the lost wax method. The "lost wax technique" consists in surrounding the wax sculpture with clay or plaster, removing the wax through high temperature and pouring hot bronze in its place, and then removing the clay or plaster mold. This technique functions in the artistic world to this day, although of course it has been improved. The most famous bronze sculptures were made by Cellini, Donatello, August Rodin, and in Poland by Bolesław Biegas and Wacław Szymanowski. Ladies and Gentlemen, I invite you to enrich your collections with two beautiful paintings by Wiktoria Kania, because the income from both paintings, as well as from the presented sculpture by Igor Mitoraj, will be donated to a worthy cause. The goal is to launch the School of Painting and Drawing for Children in Pszczyna, Poland. The goal of the school is to develop painting talents in children as well as to discover extraordinary talents, where the painting genius is from birth. Currently, Wiktoria Kania successfully conducts such classes for children, but in not very comfortable working conditions. Unfortunately, they limit the possibilities and development of the school.
