Mirko Zrinšćak - Essence of Nature

Mirko Zrinšćak is a sculptor, born in 1953 in Volosko in Croatia. His sculptural forms have in common that they are made of wood that he finds in his immediate surroundings - a protected nature reserve in the forest of Mount Učka, where he lives and works.

Zrinšćak works like a craftsman with the material and it is the work with the wood in ecological and spiritual balance that is in focus. Some of Mirko Zrinšćak's sculptural works are of a constructive nature, others are more organic, and as an artist Mirko Zrinšćak follows in the footsteps of Brancusi and Arp: He searches for the soul of nature, which he translates into sculpture.

Anne Berk, who is the curator of the exhibition, emphasizes: "For me, his fluid forms reflect energy, growth and longing. Many of his elongated forms reach for the sky. They have a soul.”
