Jiří Mašek

Discover the unique world of sculpture.

I would like to invite you to discover my artistic creations and let you be inspired by my passion. I devote my time to molding powerful stories and personalities into lead. 

My sculptural work presents portraits of well-known personalities in the form of busts cast using an special alloy of tin and lead casting technique. Each sculpture is original and precisely crafted, capturing the details and personality of the given individual. Let yourself be enchanted by the collection of unique portraits.

 

GUSTAV KLIMT

Klimt was a pioneer of Viennese Art Nouveau and his works are iconic for their rich colors, decorative patterns and symbolic subject matter… “Truth is like fire; to tell the truth is to glow and burn.”

SALVATOR MUNDI

Leonardo da Vinci painted the painting SALVATOR MUNDI around 1500. Ever since I saw it in one of the exhibitions, I have been thinking that I have to give it as a reference to this famous Renaissance artist. Capturing peace and its stoic calm was my intention in this creation… because everything is as it should be.

MILAN KUNDERA

“The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long that nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was… The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting.”

JAN SOKOL

This is my first time making  a portrait of someone I actually had the pleasure of meeting in person. I know it makes no sense to say “If”, but I can’t help but wonder what would our society look like  having Jan Sokol as a successor to Václav Havel? There is no greater regret than a waste of opportunity.

AMY WINEHOUSE

Art has the ability to take out the pain of tragic events. Her music has that ability. Her dream was to sing, and her music full of pain is proof that fulfilling our dreams does not necessarily make us happy…

HOPE

I was in elementary school when the Velvet Revolution ended communist totalitarianism in our country. Václav Havel was the main figure of the newly formed freedom. People were excited and full of expectations of a brighter future. The world changed and Europe could breath freely again. To me, Václav Havel is a symbol of hope that “Truth and love must prevail over lies and hatred!”.
