About The Artist
www.emotionsart.pl
Jacek Opala – JO ,born 1970 in Boleslawiec, in West Poland- town with a long ,rich history of ceramics.
My sculptures are often a combination of classical forms and fantasy. I’v been inspired by such artists like Igor Mitoraj and Leonardo. I tried to capture in the clay an atmosphere, an emotion. It’s to the observer to give their own interpretation of what emotion :).
The works are made fromchamotte, glazed clay and fired at 1100 C.
The sculptures are shown mainly in gallerys in Poland, for example in Szalom in Krakow, Beskidzka in Szczyrk, Ether and Borowski in Warszawa, Tadeo Art in Bielsko Bia?a, Leonardo in Kazimierz or Galerie Mitte in Dresden in Germany.
I have won several international competitions like Palm Art or Art Pasion Festival (Grand Prix) or International Art-competition/Cultural_Diversity. My work is beeing exhibited in the Museum of Art in Bedzin or in privat collections.
