By merging sculpture and jewelry, he expands the boundaries of artistic expression, offering a unique perspective on the relationship between art and the human body.

"The Art of Wearing Art" exhibition by Igor Mitoraj presents captivating jewelry creations inspired by his renowned sculptures. Held in Venice and Cortina d'Ampezzo, this immersive showcase unveils a collection of elegant and symbolic pieces. Mitoraj's meticulous craftsmanship pushes boundaries, from necklaces and bracelets to brooches and rings: each wearable sculpture reflects his mastery and deep connection to the ancient. As with the large-scale works, Mitoraj uses the lost-wax casting technique to create these precious objects in bronze, gold and silver. This collection once again confirms the master's desire to create a bridge between ancient civilizations and contemporary art. These wearable masterpieces offer the wearer a deep connection with the transformative power of art. Igor Mitoraj thus accomplishes a union of sculpture and jewelry that redefines artistic expression itself.
