Xawery Wolski (b. 1960) is a Polish sculptor living and working in Dańków. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and the Studio School of Drawing, Painting, and Sculpture in New York.

His practice encompasses sculpture, installation, drawing, and textiles, employing materials such as terracotta, bronze, stone, silk, and plant fibers. His work focuses on memory, time, transience, and the relationship between humans and matter. Terracotta occupies a central place in his practice, and its anthropological and cultural significance has been the subject of his research during numerous travels and artistic residencies in Latin America and Asia.

His works have been exhibited at Zachęta – National Gallery of Art in Warsaw, the National Museum in Lublin, the Liu Haisu Museum in Shanghai, the Museo de Arte Moderno, and Museo Anahuacalli in Mexico, as well as in galleries and institutions across Europe, the United States, and Latin America. In 2021, he returned to Poland and established the Xawery Wolski Foundation at his family estate in Dańków, where he created a sculpture park and a space dedicated to artistic residencies and collaboration.
