MARIUSZ DYDO (b. 1979). From 1994 to 1999 he attended the Artur Grottger PLSP in Tarnow and graduated from the Artistic Furniture Department. In 2004, he defended his diploma at the Faculty of Sculpture at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, in the sculpture studio of Jerzy Nowakowski. In 1997-2003, he participated in the activities of Jacek Kucaba's Artistic Group -Ruchome Święto. In 2007, he opened his own sculpture and painting studio, where he has completed many contract commissions for private individuals, film, advertising, museums AND churches. In his work, he combines sculpture with design. He is inspired by classical form and pop-culture iconography. He reaches back to inspirations from his childhood years. He finds in them a link between, design and the original belief in animism. A link between the culture of the hunters of the Paleolithic era and the hunters of the hypermarket era.
