Marcin G. Otapowicz, born in 1978 in Białystok, is a vibrant and intriguing personality, an artist, inventor, entrepreneur, and sculptor who became interested in sculpture at the age of 10 and has been creating ever since. A seeker, exceptionally curious about the world, passionate about science, history, nature, technology, and scientific literature. He studied architecture and international relations, and is a member of the Association of Polish Inventors and Rationalizers.

Among the many fields of art and sciences that interest the artist, he has a particular affinity for the art of antiquity and the Renaissance, which remains his inspiration to this day. As he puts it, “a huge part of his life was spent in New York during his youth, surrounded by inspiring people, art galleries, museums, and the great world of art.”

At the center of the artist’s interest is the human being, emotions, the human body immortalized in sculpture. He longs for beauty, as he says, “in this modern and artificial world.” The creator has a special fondness for wood, reviving it, creating with the incredible material that is bog wood, often over 7000 years old! Bearing witness to history, the transformations in the history of humanity and the world, which is equally amazing inspiration in itself. The human depicted in the work of this artist is classical, statuesque, yet still alive, possessing a soul despite being encapsulated in wood, marble, or bronze cast. The figures are damaged, like ancient sculptures, often lacking hands, legs, body parts, they are contemporary yet appear aged. The author perceives the passage of time, the decay of matter, feeling that he is a witness to history and wants to be a part of it.

Particular attention is deserved for the artist’s workshop and precision, his incredible knowledge of anatomy, and exceptional sense of form. Currently, the author has his sculptures on every continent, having been commissioned for art for years. He has matured to the point where he wants to share his creativity not as a craftsman but as an artist.
