Inspired by ancient statuary, Igor Mitoraj sculpts broken or severed fragments of busts, faces and body parts. "My work is not about recreating what has already been done, but it is simply an attempt to shape in familiar forms the drama of life." "The idea of beauty is ambiguous, a double-edged sword that can easily wound you, cause pain and torture."
