Polish sculptor, binds traditions of antiquity with the modern mythology of consumerism.
Michał Jackowski was born in 1978 in Białystok, Poland. He graduated from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts in Poland. At the centre of his compositions are people, their spiritual condition, and interpersonal relations. By using timeless, classical aesthetics Michał frames eternal questions that we all need to confront. Antique elements go hand in hand with those lifted from the world of pop-culture to encourage viewers not only to reflect upon themselves but also their connection with the past as well as the here and now.
“The human being is always central to my interests: the values that shape us and the relationships we build with others. By exploring human desires and emotions, many questions about the modern condition intrigue me. I try to answer them through sculpture, at the same time sculpting myself slowly day by day."
