Radosław Skóra – born in 1978 in Lublin. He graduated from the Faculty of Arts at the Maria Curie Skłodowska University in Lublin in 2003. In 2020, he defended his doctorate at the Faculty of Sculpture of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. He works as an assistant professor in the Department of Intermedia and Sculpture at the Faculty of Art, UMCS. He conducts research in the field of traditional sculpture, monumental sculpture and small sculptural forms, in particular he explores the issue of scale in sculpture and the impact of sculptural objects in the context of their influence on the viewer and the exhibition space. He is an author of 6 solo exhibitions. He has taken part in 20 collective exhibitions. Awarded 3rd prize for the sculpture ‘Tree’ (XII International Autumn Salon of Art, BWA Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, 2014) and Grand Prix for the sculpture ‘Tree II’ (XIII International Autumn Salon of Art, BWA Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, 2016). The artist himself says of his work: ‘The cubic forms of the steel sculptures are reflections of architectural forms against the background of nature. The monumental sculptural forms are peculiar monuments to nature, meant to show the power of nature in the face of human activity, which, despite the wounds inflicted on it, is only waiting for a ray of light to be reborn’.
