Marek Zyga Biography

ARTIST STATEMENT:

I was born in 1968.
Ceramic sculpture dealing with since 2003. Debuted in 2007, the exhibition at the Museum of Ceramics in Boleslawiec, where I live and create.

As a sculptor I am interested in human being, especially in his body and gestures. I am fascinated by persons, their beaviour, reactions. My sculptures are like processed images from reality, to some extent they are stories. When an idea comes to my mind and eventually takes shape, I sculpture in clay and then it is formed into gypsum. As a self-taught I am sensitive to proper technique. Before I start a new work, I think how I should make it. I do not make sketches but immediately make a
model in clay. My works are decorated with angobas, pigments and are glazed.
