Artwork description:

This is an oil painting colored bronze sculpture on a granite base. By coloring (that is, at the same time visually emphasizing) some parts of the sculpture, I want to add more cheerfulness, playfulness and variety to the work.
At the same time, the oil painting of the piece adds another artistic dimension, and such a "living" sculpture will stand out better in the interior.


Story about sculpture:

I am grateful to life for giving me a really lush imagination and that I can use it in my work throughout my life.
Of course, I also have it thanks to the fact that I love fairy tales. I always liked to be drawn into the world of goblins, elves, fairies, dragons, giants and all fairy-tale creatures.
Fairy tales develop the imagination of our children and grandchildren, make them better, more human, more playful...
With this work, I also pay my modest tribute to fairy tales and to all people who are aware of their importance. Especially nowadays.


Important information:
Even if I state that there are 3-5 copies of a specific sculpture, each of them is actually an original. The technique of my work is atypical and I have to model every single piece of the same sculpture again and create a mold into which the bronze is then poured. Despite over 40 years of experience, even I cannot model any of the other variations of the same motif completely identically. There are minor differences between them, even though in principle it is the same work.
Sometimes it can happen that the work shown in the photo has already been sold in the meantime, and in the case of another order, I have to model this motif again from the beginning and have it cast into a new form. In this case, the time for sending the work is around 3 weeks, and it must be taken into account that this sculpture will differ in a few small details from the depicted work.
But the advantage is that, for the above reasons, the purchased work is unique, and a completely identical work can simply never exist.
