Inspired by ancient statuary, Igor Mitoraj sculpts broken or cut fragments of busts, faces and body parts.
"My work is not about recreating what has already been done, but is simply an attempt to shape in familiar forms the drama of life".
"The idea of beauty is ambiguous, a double-edged sword that can easily wound you, cause pain and torture".
