Bronze sculpture with a brown patina resting on a travertine base.

A Franco-Polish artist renowned for his contemporary interpretation of classical statuary, Igor Mitoraj developed a body of work where references to Greco-Roman art meet an aesthetic of fragmentation and incompleteness. His sculptures evoke the ideal beauty of the classical body, while simultaneously expressing its fragility and the effects of time.

with Perseus, the artist offers a unique interpretation of the mythological figure, in a dialogue between classical heritage and contemporary sensibility. The brown patina of the bronze emphasizes the sculpture's volumes and contrasts with the understated elegance of the travertine base (which shows signs of wear).
