“The Little Red Riding Hood sculpture (So that I could kiss you better)” is part of a new series of small sculptures installed on the wall. Obviously inspired by the fairy tale about Little Red Riding Hood, with a significant of irony, it captures the scene of Little Red Riding Hood’s meeting with the wolf, which is depicted here as an almost harmless dog. His body is flesh-pink in color, indicating his belonging to the human culture. The wolf in fairy tales is often a symbol of evil, but here the good is turned upside down – here the wolf is just trying to blend in, it has a benevolent, almost human look (it has embedded replicas of human eyes), while the Little Red Riding Hood has a fierce, even combative attitude, full of determination. We all know how the fairy tale ends and who ends up dead. The work is also a tribute to the master of horror – Steven King – the quote “So that I could kiss you better” it is from his book series “Bill Hodges”. The sculpture is installed on the wall, thereby intensifying the polemic over reality and allowing the viewer to think about the truth.
Little Angel V (Essentia)
Little Angel V (Essentia), 2024
polyester gel, fiberglass, acrylic
57 x 22 x 25 cm
The third version of the little girl – angel called “Little Angel V (Esentia). The letter “V” stands for the Roman numeral “5” (there are now a total of five statues in the Little Angels series + The Sight Of Angel mask). The letter “V” is not only the numeral “5”, but it is also the symbol of “V” as a victory. Unlike the previous two “angels”, this one already has wings, but the wings have feathers plucked.

Humility (2022) a small version of the statue, which originally served as a preparation for the large, larger-than-life version and later realization in bronze (EVA statue). The sculpture belongs to a thematic and compositional group that I once called “Humility”. It is the opposition and dialogue to “Levitation”.
