Marcin Rząsa’s work revolves around the simplified human figure, whose form – laconic and stripped of detail – emanates calm and introspection. The sculptures, carved from wood, emerge through a dialogue with the material. The artist takes into account the natural structure of the wood, which responds to its environment and carries an inherent potential for change, influencing the final shape
of the work.

A defining feature of Rząsa’s sculptures is the deliberate elimination of individual expression. Hidden hands – regarded by the artist as a primary vehicle of emotion – along with a gentle, expressionless face, lend the figures
an aura of mystery and universality.
