We create innovative insurance solutions for companies, because we believe that in business an advantage is achieved by creativity and departing from the usual schemes. That is why we are interested in art, which has made uniqueness its principle. We are friends with artists.
One of the artists we particularly value is the outstanding Polish sculptor Stanisław Cukier. His works are usually made of bronze, so they have their own material weight. They also have the roughness and simplicity characteristic of matter. They are like objects which have been dug out of the ground after centuries of oblivion. They do not shine, they are not banally beautiful. And yet they shift our attention to the spiritual dimension, stopping time, giving us a promise of eternity.
Stanisław Cukier
was born in 1954 in Zakopane. He graduated from the Faculty of Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, where he later taught for five years in the Department of Medal Making and Small Sculptural Forms. In 1987, he returned to Zakopane, where he lives and works to this day. His works can be found in the collections of the National Museum in Wrocław, Cracow, Warsaw and the British Museum in London. The artist works in classical materials, most often in bronze, but also in wood and granite. His characteristic style of accepting the finiteness and imperfection of the material form of man and the world serves - paradoxically - to direct our attention to the spiritual dimension of existence.
