Igor Mitoraj

Igor Mitoraj (1944-2014) was a contemporary Polish sculptor. He is considered as one of the most internationally recognized Polish sculptors, and known for his fragmented human body sculptures often constructed for large-scale public installations.

Mitoraj's sculptural style was classically inspired, with a strong emphasis on the well-modeled torso. His works frequently try to confront problems about the human body, its beauty and fragility, its sorrow, as well as deeper parts of human nature that degenerate over time.

In 2005 Igor Mitoraj received the Golden Medal of Medal for Merit to Culture - Gloria Artis and in 2012 he received the Commander's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta.
