METAMORPHOSIS

MÉTAMORPHOSIS is a sculpture depicting a cowering lion with its mouth wide open, from which two human faces emerge – a male and a female. At the animal’s feet wriggles an attacking snake, on its back in turn lies a naked young man. The animal figures are extremely dynamic, embodying strength and danger.

Human figures, on the other hand, are depicted in a contrasting way – the faces that emerge from the maw are characterized by calmness and pathos, while confidence can be read from the body language of the man on the animal’s back. Wojciech Siudmak has encapsulated an incredible range of emotions in his work, which is heightened by the choice of material and excellent execution of the work, making it an extremely prestigious piece
