The Nymphaeum from Somewhere Else “When they speak of academism, it’s as if it were a dirty word!” The pejorative...

with a member of the Ostrava 2015 team (Ostrava město kultury), which outlines the background of the creation and realization of the sculpture (from 2010):

David Moješčík has created an extensive collection of sculptures. Today, he is part of a middle-aged generation of Czech sculptors and is famous for his creations in several public spaces in Ostrava that became a focus of anger from the public and controversy amongst experts…

David Moješčík deviates from the framework of today’s Czech sculpting with his work. He finds inspiration where others don’t. He allows himself to be influenced by sculptures that many still look down upon today. The result of his precise work is only a few sculptures, most of which, however, seem to be torn from the current of constant change. D. Moješčík stands outside the mainstream, is neither “cool” nor “in” and yet brings something strangely new, exciting in its timelessness, ambiguity and elusiveness.
