Umbrae Vorax, 2022

Umbrae Vorax - Resin Sculpture 40 cm /25 /20

The author of this extraordinary work is Krzysztof Plonka. This sculpture clearly bears the imprint of the artistic vision of master Zdzisław Beksiński - in its monumental, perfect form, emanating a mysterious and yet fascinating aura.

This unique sculpture is a true emanation of the ancient, sacred sphere of esoteric mysteries. Although it ostensibly takes the form of an archetypal human face, its monumental, perfect shape contains a series of enigmatic air-permeable openings.

When gusts of wind penetrate these mystical openings, they release fascinatingly unsettling, meditative sounds. This peculiar "sound resonance" gives this extraordinary creation the impression of an animated artifact, as if emanating alien, cosmic energy.

Umbrae Vorax is in fact a skillful monument that transcends the horizon of traditional sculpture. Transcending the material limitations of the medium, this work appears as an almost superhuman manifestation of ideal harmony and aesthetic perfection. At the same time, however, it disturbs us with its mysterious, almost demonic aura - as if under the guise of this sublime, hieratic form, lurked some ancient, transgressive power.

This astonishing synthesis of the divine and the demonic, the sacred and the profane, creates an aura of extraordinary, metaphysical fascination around this sculpture. Umbrae Vorax detaches us from everyday life, to draw us into the whirlwind of mystical, timeless contemplation. Immersing the viewer in the current of transcendent experiences, this work opens the doors to new, breathtaking horizons of aesthetic and spiritual transgression.
