About the Item
Sylwia Jakubowska-Szycik is professor at the Academy of Fine Arts at the Faculty of Sculpture and Intermedia in Gdańsk, she conducts classes in the field of sculpture and intermedia.
Material: polished polyester resin, coated with powdered aluminum.
The aluminum layer is not protected by any varnish, it is only rubbed into the resin. This means that the touching person may leave traces on the surface, in the form of fingerprints, hand prints, etc., and this is also what happens after each exhibition. Aluminum can oxidize in these places, it becomes gray and dark. Such a process was the premise of this thesis and no surface protection will work. The aluminum will either lose its shine, more likely to oxidize over the entire surface and be a dark gray color.
If you want to keep the color you should only touch the sculpture with gloves, should traces arise with the aluminum powder treated again
The sculpture does not have a separate base, it stands directly on the floor with its feet.
"The creation is an ongoing observation and reaction to reality, to what I see, what I listen to, an emotional response. It all happens through the prism of day-to-day life. This is where the impulses come from, hence the material and forms, hence the working methods and this is where my place of work can be found. I called it the strategy of practical day-to-day life. It all comes according to the rhythm of life with its most basic needs. With the personal needs of my family and those for whom I am responsible. Treating creative activity as one of these fundamental needs became a natural consequence of my choices. Art has set itself in line with many other things and tasks, it has become a component of the organism that I co-create."

- White Swimmer - Modern Unique Handmade Glazed Ceramics Sculpture , Man PortraitBy Tomasz BielakLocated in Salzburg, ATThe sculpture is signed below, inside Tomasz Bielak born in Lublin in 1967. He graduated of The Academy of Fine Arts, Painting and Graphics Design Department in Gdańsk, in 1994. He realized installation art, graphics press, large format murals, sculpture and painting. In all these areas, in addition to artistic workshop, the most important thing is his message of the work, the message contained therein. He believe that "art" is one of many languages (perhaps even more sophisticated than others) that humanity learned to lead the discourse at a level different than just verbal. He indentify with the principle "if you have nothing to say - be quiet...Category
