Inspired by ancient statuary, Igor Mitoraj carves broken or cut fragments of busts, faces and body parts.
"My work is not to recreate 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 hurt you, cause pain and torture."
