Torso alato

Mitoraj creates a "Winged Torso". The famous sculptor is well known in Italy and around the world for his characteristic 'masks' and statues of clear classical reminiscence. Surrealism and quotationism are mixed in his sculptures, creating effects of monumentality and mystery at the same time: as in many remains of antiquity, the figures are never whole, they often have missing arms or parts of the body and sometimes they are real compositions of fragments of statues.
Art movement
It is inspired primarily by ancient countries such as Greece and Italy for the use of marble and bronze, but also by Egypt for its monumentality, without ever losing that continuous, often ironic allusion to the concept artifacts and fragments typical of Greco-Roman sculptures.
