From an early age, Michal Wysocki's life has been associated with sculpting. He grew up surrounded by his father's emerging sculptures in a studio located in the backyard of their home in Wroclaw. Years spent playing in the studio resulted in the fact that the choice of a life path seemed clear. Michal's father, Stanislaw, is an established Sculptor whose works are recognized and appreciated at home and abroad. Living in Wroclaw, a city located on the Oder River, made it possible to develop a passion for sailing. His sports career was a school of the fact that in order to achieve success, one must first suffer many failures, but at the same time, consistently strive for the goal. Michal's greatest sporting success was winning the Polish Championship in the Olympic 470 class in 2017. Sporting passion became the main inspiration, while researching and creating works on a student exchange in Valencia and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw, from which he graduated in 2009. The series of graduation works presented under the title "Essence" at the BWA Gallery in Wroclaw presented forms inspired by the energy of wind, movement and forces of nature. Participation in sculpture competitions brought many awards. The most notable was receiving an award in the competition for the monument to the "Murdered Professors of Lviv" in Lviv. Work on the reconstruction of monuments to Joseph von Eichendorff and R. H. Goppert in the Wroclaw Botanical Garden provided an opportunity to measure up to the artistry of the old masters. Michal, together with his father Stanislaw, made monuments to Pope John Paul II in Wroclaw's Psi Pole and Straszyn, several commemorative plaques to, among others, director Jerzy Has, and the sculpture "Orpheus" located in front of the Theater Museum on Liberty Square in Wroclaw, which is a reference to Wroclaw's past and the work of Theodor von Gosen and his son Marcus. The most important task resulting from the conviction that there are no impossible things to do in Wysocki's studio was to engage in the creation of tactile mock-ups for the blind and visually impaired as part of the "See the World with Hands" project. Beginning with the first completed work of "St. Mary's Basilica in Gdansk" through "Gdańsk Crane", "Gdańsk City Hall", "Monument to Fallen Shipyard Workers", "ORP Blyskawica", "MS Batory", "Castle of Pomeranian Dukes" and "SV Dar Pomorza", each subsequent miniature made in bronze brought development of technology and skills from physical work in the material to transfer of modeling to the virtual world, 3D printing technology and development of own casting method. These miniatures are considered by many to be among the best made and most accurate of the prototypes. Today, in the studio located in the center of Wroclaw on an island between two canals of the Oder River, two approaches to creating sculpture clash, one by Stanislaw - classic work in clay before casting in bronze, and one by Michael - creating the form in the virtual world giving almost unlimited possibilities. They often present the completed works at joint exhibitions such as (exhibition in Zapiecek gallery 2010. Warsaw, Art Fair Warsaw 2010, exhibition at the City Museum in Kralki 2011, exhibition at the Carriage Museum in Galovice 2013, exhibition at Haus Schlesien in Konigswinter 2015). Another work can be seen at the WorldartB Gallery.
