Mariusz DYDO (b. 1979) After graduating from the Artistic Furniture Department at PLSP in Tarnow, he entered the Faculty of Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, from which he graduated in 2004. Before and during his studies, he was active in Jacek Kucaba's Author Art Group "Ruchome Święto". During his studies, he participated in many group exhibitions and twice, at the invitation of the Commune de Lorentzweiller, Luxembourg, in the painting projects "Residents of Lorentzweiller" and "Landscapes of Lorentzweiller." After graduation, he was the recipient of awards and prizes for paintings from the series www.cykl.dy and the Art Prize of the City of Cracow. In 2007, he opened his first sculpture and painting studio, where he has completed many contract commissions for private individuals, film, advertising, the Wieliczka Salt Mine Tourist Route Museum, the Museum of the City of Cracow under the plate of the Market Square, the Holy Cross Basilica on Krakowskie Przedmieście in Warsaw (together with Zbigniew Blajerski). Since 2008, he has been creating small sculptural series in cast ceramics, which form the Mariusz Dydo brand. In 2013, together with a second investor, he established the Dydodecor project to promote the brand and the artists invited to build it. He is the author of the design of the figures for the large-scale architectural establishment for the Katyn Victims Memorial Foundation. His work is inspired by the intersection lines of mythology and art, the tradition of the masters and a visit to the hypermarket.
