About the Item
Taorakio is a bronze sculpture by contemporary artist Jacques Owczarek, dimensions are 45 × 42 × 27 cm (17.7 × 16.5 × 10.6 in). The sculpture is signed and numbered, it is part of a limited edition of 8 editions + 4 artist’s proofs, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
The lines, edges, and curves give this bronze pelican its shape. The features of the animal are identifiable: its head, eyes, and beak. However, the clarity of the shape, the sharpness of the lines, and the geometric aspect of the sculpture highlight the artist's unique interpretation. There are enough components to make this pelican a special, highly emotive piece.
Jacques Owczarek has no formal education. He believes that he was truly born when he discovered sculpture at the age of 30. He works diligently and meticulously to create each piece, always striving for perfection. He never begins a piece with a preconceived notion of an animal; instead, everything comes together as he works on it.

Jacques Owczarek
Jacques Owczarek’s sculptures oscillate between figuration and abstraction, redefining the genre of animal sculpture. In his bronze bestiary, the artist favours purity of form, synthesising it in a distinct, highly original style. He allows himself to be guided by his intuitions, creating animals with dynamic, geometric lines that give an impression of movement to static matter. Jacques Owczarek has exhibited at some of the most prestigious international shows and fairs for almost 20 years. “For me, the animal is just a pretext, a pretext for shapes that will question, for volumes that will live, that will settle, that will take possession of the place, that will evolve in a direction that I will give them because they impose themselves on me.’’
