Igor Dobrowolski’s work is deeply rooted in a journey of self-discovery, revealing distinct psychological figures that shape his creative process. These figures include his inner child, feminine side, tyrannical side, and contemporary side, each manifesting in different forms of artistic expression.

When designing sculptures, Dobrowolski taps into his feminine side, resulting in works filled with emotion, grace, and deep emotional awareness. His sculptures convey fluidity and expression, reflecting a sense of softness and sensitivity. In contrast, his bas-reliefs are driven by his tyrannical side, marked by sharp, angular shapes and a monochrome palette that evokes intensity and strength, reminiscent of Brutalism.

A pivotal moment in Dobrowolski’s practice came when he began painting with his left hand, reconnecting with his childlike side. This experience, where he was consumed by the process in a trance-like state, allowed him to embrace the freedom and uninhibited creativity of his inner child.

While Dobrowolski’s oil paintings have previously sought to combine elements of his various psychological sides—political and social commentary, childlike wonder, and emotional expression—he now aims to explore these figures individually. By allowing each side to exist as a separate entity, he embraces a more focused and personal approach to his work.

This realization marks a transformative moment in his artistic journey, opening up new possibilities for exploration and expression.
