Jacques Owczarek
Taorakio by Jacques Owczarek - Animal bronze sculpture of a pelican, bird

Contemporary

About the Item

Taorakio is a bronze sculpture by contemporary artist Jacques Owczarek, dimensions are 45 × 42 × 27 cm (17.7 × 16.5 × 10.6 in). The sculpture is signed and numbered, it is part of a limited edition of 8 editions + 4 artist’s proofs, and comes with a certificate of authenticity. The lines, edges, and curves give this bronze pelican its shape. The features of the animal are identifiable: its head, eyes, and beak. However, the clarity of the shape, the sharpness of the lines, and the geometric aspect of the sculpture highlight the artist's unique interpretation. There are enough components to make this pelican a special, highly emotive piece. Jacques Owczarek has no formal education. He believes that he was truly born when he discovered sculpture at the age of 30. He works diligently and meticulously to create each piece, always striving for perfection. He never begins a piece with a preconceived notion of an animal; instead, everything comes together as he works on it.
