Singing For Wolfie (1997) Original Mixed-media Sculpture by Andru Fijalkowski

I began this art work in the mid 90's, when working on my series Headz.
The idea developed after being introduced then listening to the music of Mozart's "Reqium". This had such a over-whelming influence on me, that I created two works.
Both "Singing for Wolfie" heads No 1 and No 2 are dedicated to the intense feeling experienced.
Initially built in clay, I then created a copy of each work, using a more permanent material. (All of my works are an Edition of 1 )
I tend to work and re-work my pieces over many years, until I feel I can do no more and they are ready to leave my studio. Thus during the last 30 years, I have added layer upon layer of colour until now I feel ready to say goodbye, setting my work free.
There is a short film on Facebook 15 seconds, which gives the viewer an understanding of the colour and light Wolfie radiates. Also showing on Tiktok, YouTube, Linked-in
I have spent all years making works that reflect my journey through life --- thank you for viewing ....
