Polish Hussar Warrior Sculpture

Comrade (Husarz) was completed on December 19, 2021. Work on it from the moment of its conception lasted almost three years, although the very idea of ​​creating Comrade - Hussar appeared much earlier ... Originally it was supposed to be a knight in full gear on a charging horse, but a lot of similar works can be found in both historical and contemporary art . My concept changed when I found a catalog of works by a ceramics artist at a photographer's friend who created exotic warriors dressed only from the waist down. I realized that in our native culture there is no such kind of work and that warriors or knights are always clad in armor. This is how the idea of ​​materializing the vision of a mighty man, a Hussar companion, dressed in tight pants fastened with bumps and boots from the beginning of the 16th century with the attribute of a "batorówka" saber in his hand, was born. The intriguing eye sockets of the Companion, although physically empty, do not make such an impression from a distance. Lovers of Slavic beliefs should think of Kraboszki :-) and lovers of antiquity - Greek theatrical masks. I leave the rest of the interpretation of the sculpture to your imagination ...
