Igor Mitoraj, a popular sculptor

Mitoraj then states: "The architecture that I evoke reminds us of the shores of the Mediterranean, all the ruins around". Such is the case of Aesclepios. When he represents parts of the body in their entirety, such as faces or hands, he veils or bands them as in the bronze Interlaced Hands. However, since the mid-1980s, he gradually abandoned the bandage. In addition, his figures are often injured or nailed to the ground. This realization of the human body is identical in his drawings. Mitoraj explains: "My art is obviously the artistic expression of a certain uneasiness, an emotion, a protection, which leaves the door open to the imagination. ».
