Photos: The Kiss, sculpture by Auguste Rodin; An Aquarius and a nymph cradling a baby, vase by Konstanty Laszczka ca. 1920.
Rodin’s sculptural heritage
Olszczynski’s body of work often refers to the founder of modern sculpting Auguste Rodin and his artistic European successors like Polish sculptor Konstanty Laszczka, whose sculptures were often spiritual and allegoric, often taken from the world of animals and fairy tales.
A mythical figure of chimera, in Olszczynski's art is a synonym for a liberated woman who remains an independent, fantastic figure.
|Chimera| In Greek mythology, the Chimera was a fearsome, fire-breathing monster with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a dragon's tail.

“In my artistic practice, I am often drawn to celestial bodies, comets, and stars. The series of Astral candleholders, sculpted with star-like forms, was created to celebrate the quiet magic of candlelight. Over time, as the wax melts, it reveals a delicate, cosmic performance - a star eclipsing, slowly unveiling, a gentle dance of light and shadow. It invites you to pause, to watch, and to feel time move in the soft glow of a single flame.” - Olszczynski says.
