About this artwork
MARCED looks at his hand in shock, as if seeing a living hand for the first time. His fingers move. Blood flows. He realises that the hand is real, that it belongs to him and responds to his will.
In his favourite world, MARCED is immortal, fearless and endlessly reborn. He has armour, weapons, fast cars and countless lives. Yet now he is afraid of his own body—alive, fragile and real. Somewhere between reality and fiction, he has forgotten what… it means to exist.
Perhaps we all sometimes escape into worlds where we can become anyone and avoid the weight of real life. MARCED also reflects part of my own escape. Today, reality feels more interesting, because I now create fiction within it—not the other way around. The full story is available on the website konradziolkowskiart.

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.
