Story about the sculpture:

I love humor, I'm a very humorous person myself. It is fully reflected in all my work. I can't even remember creating a sculpture or a painting without at least a subtle touch of humor.
I like to joke, but not only at the expense of others. I often make fun of myself. An example is this sculpture of a sculptor-creator creating his self-portrait.
However, this sculpture is far from just about me. It is also an instructive story about all of us. All our lives, we create a form of ourselves through our actions, we create our essence, our image - what we are, how we perceive ourselves, how others perceive us. This sculpture reminds us of this constant process of self-creation and the need to set a mirror for ourselves. It is a story about the need for self-reflection. This is also why the sculpture is a suitable addition to anyone's interior.



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.
