Igor Mitoraj was born in 1944 in Oederan, Germany. He is a Polish artist. He first studied painting, but then became fascinated with Latin-American art. He then spent a year painting and traveling across Mexico, which led him to pursue sculpture. He mainly uses terrecota, bronze, and marble. His work is deeply rooted in the classical tradition, but with a post modern twist regarding the dismembered body parts. I enjoy the classical element, but I mostly enjoy the twist Mirtoraj put in his work, and as you can see most of his work is on a large scale, and of a part of the body, not whole.
