Igor Mitoraj   

Igor Mitoraj was born on 26 March 1944, the son of a Polish mother and a French father. He grew up in Poland, not far from Krakow.After studying at art college in Bielsko-Biala, Mitoraj began studying painting at the age of nineteen (1963) at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. In the last three years of his studies, he was the pupil of Tadeusz Kantor (1914-1990), the famous painter, director and set designer, devoting himself exclusively to painting. In 1967, together with other students from the Krakow Academy, he took part in a collective exhibition held in the Krzysztofory Gallery in Krakow.

In 1968, following the advice of Kantor, Mitoraj left Poland to go to Paris to broaden his cultural

horizons. In the same year, he enrolled at the Ècole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he continued his studies. In 1976, after his first one man show at the “La Hune” gallery in Paris,he became convinced that he should devote himself to sculpture.

During the same period, he received prestigious awards such as the Montrauge “Sculpture Prize”; the
French Minister for Culture made a studio available for the sculptor at Montmartre in the Bateau
Lavoir. In 1986 he accepted an invitation to the 42nd Venice Art Biennale. In 1987 he bought a large studio in Pietrasanta. In 1989, he presented his works for the first time at the.
New York Academy of Art. In the years that followed, he exhibited his works in numerous
one man shows and received invitations to participate in large exhibitions in museums. He received
important international commissions for monumental sculptures to be displayed in the
leading cities of the world: in Milan with the “Fontana del Centauro” (Fountain of the Centaur) and at the Scala with “Omaggio a De Sabata” (A tribute to De Sabata), in Rome, London, Paris, Atlanta
and Tokyo. In 2001 he received the “Premio Vittorio De Sica”, a prize awarded to him by the President of the Italian Republic. In 2002 and 2006 he devoted himself to the sets and costumes of the operas “Manon Lescaut” and “Tosca” by Giacomo Puccini. In 2003 he made the monumental sculpture “Dea Roma” in Rome and in 2006 he made the monumental doors for the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri. Igor Mitoraj is an honorary citizen of the towns of Pietrasanta, Greve in Chianti, and

In 2009 he completed two large projects: the first was designing the sets and costumes for the opera “Aida” at the Boboli Gardens while the second was the monumental door for the church of the Jesuits in Warsaw. In 2010 he was awarded an Honorary Degree in Archaeology at the Faculty of Cultural Heritage of Salento.
