About this artwork
As I grow older, I become increasingly aware of the passing of time. It disturbs me that I cannot stop it or influence its constant flow. Time can destroy more than fire or metal, yet it is also creative: things grow, change and live for as long as they are given time.
BEFIS made me wonder whether someone could give time away—or sell it. What would we pay with: money, deeds, promises? How much is a minute worth, or an hour? Would the rich receive… more and the poor less?
Elegant and composed, BEFIS is a dealer in time. I do not know what he asks in return, but I believe everyone can afford it. Perhaps he will return the moments spent reading this text.
What would you offer BEFIS for more time?

Konrad Ziolkowski is a Polish sculptor working primarily in stone, bronze, and mixed media, carrying on his family's sculptural heritage and academic training from the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts. He employs a synthesis of traditional and contemporary techniques, combining the endurance of stone with the expressive potential of bronze and elements like glass and light, crafting simplified, symbolic forms and integrating original texts with each piece. His sculptures evoke deep introspection, inviting viewers into a personal, emotional dialogue that resonates with memory, tenderness, and the poignant ambiguity of human experience.
