About the Artist -.
Janusz Owsiany is an institution man. A native of the Lower Silesia province, the sculptor is the creator of the Sculpture Park in Chociemyśli, international sculpture plein-airs and many monumental sculptural realizations in the country ( Glogow, Radzyn, Chobienia, Slava,) and abroad ( Razdorf, Eisenhitenstaat, Halmshtaat, Skumeslovstrand, Laholm, Ostrava)He combines stone with welded metal, giving more and more new shapes and meanings to the resulting works.He spreads his sculptural cycles over time. One of the most important cycles the artist created over the years was the Pilgrims cycle. Initially forged in rock, the figures of pilgrims we encounter along the way, frozen moments. The figures, welded in steel and metal, are synthetic, pictorial. Often depicted in pairs, larger or smaller. They are pilgrims for whom the road is life. Later, Janusz Owsiany places his pilgrims in boats. For the author, pilgrims in boats cross the mystical river Styx, crossing the boundary between the real and the metaphysical, between the past and the future, crossing more barriers in life
