Dariusz Zielinski - Cyber Hippo 2.0 - BRONZE unique

Forget everything you know. Cyber Hippo 2.0 is een hippopotamus voor een nieuw tijdperk—uitgerust met vleugels, aangedreven door verbeelding, en gemaakt om elke regel te breken.

Blendend de rauwe esthetiek van steampunk met futuristische details en wiebelige fantasie, bewijst dit beeldhouwwerk dat in de kunst alles mogelijk is. Gedurfd, speels en onvergetelijk, het is een verzamelobject dat nieuwsgierigheid aanwakkert, een glimlach brengt en een blijvende indruk achterlaat.

I was born on 1975. I’ve been engaged in sculpture since 1998. I would call myself a self-taught, though my work has been greatly influenced by an educator and sculptor, Jacek Kozłowski. Meeting him deserves to be called “the moment” of my life.

In my work I attempt at displaying delicacy, fickleness, etherealness, and motion. Hence, perhaps, a number of my sculptures are disproportionably long – as they become apparently light thus, barely reaching the ground. I strive to avoid limiting myself to one manner of shaping the figures. I like experimenting with proportions and seeking for ever different way of deforming the reality.

I think it’s vital for every sculpture to present a story. First, I have a subject and then I find some shape for it. I believe it’s partially connected with the fact that I’m a graduate from the Academy of Special Education.

I co-operate with art galleries in Warsaw, Copenhagen, Bryrup (Denmark) and Arnhem (The Netherlands), Malmo(Sweden).
