Vicious Circle The inspiration for this piece was Jacek Malczewski’s painting Vicious Circle. I wanted to present it in a very personal way. In the sculpture I consciously applied an abstract element, which is the effect of distancing to the appearance of the real character. The surrounding figures are flouncing at a crazy pace. I used the term “crazy pace” to draw attention to the issue of time, its impact on us, and our constant misadaptation. Figures stretching between the poles of dynamics and motion are strong and compact. The aim of the work is to reflect on the situation of the modern man – their pursuit of time, looping in the abstract body. Today’s man is subjected to stronger and stronger manipulation, bombarded with information, has more and more responsibilities, turns of the wheel, so my sculpture is an expression of human fate. Every day the same actions, movements are repeated, as in my piece. I tried to show art that became a way of satisfying the human need for expression. Which would express the need to show the true “I”, not only to one’s self but also to the world. The need to face this world. To free up emotions. The vicious circle means that after many efforts and activities we are back at the starting point. We often think that we are in a hopeless predicament. It is important to bring out the resistance that will stop the process and learn how to deal with stress. And then everything will return to normal. Damian Szarafin not only has talent but also diligence in his creative work. Throughout his studies he spent many hours in the studio preparing for classes. He was very creative, he went beyond the curriculum of his studies. His interest was in figurative sculpture. Twice awarded the Rector’s Award for academic achievement (2014/15, 2015/16), participated in many group exhibitions of the Academy’s students. His degree piece Vicious Circle inspired by the famous painting by Jacek Malczewski, is a crowning to his passion. The author’s remarkable technique has allowed to create a surprising composition – a refined and courageous spatial solution with a high power of expression. His message prompts deep reflection on the condition and passing of man. The work was selected by the Faculty of Sculpture to be awarded the Golden Chisel Award. I appreciate the accomplishments of Damian Szarafin, I sincerely cheer on his ideas. I am convinced that he still has much to give, and his energy and diligence will not let him rest on his laurels.
