Krzysztof Renes

Krzysztof Renes (b. 1984) is a Polish artist belonging to the third generation of a family of sculptors and craftsmen. He graduated from the Faculty of Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and sociology at Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University. Creator of the series Universale and Penetrations of Space, he develops his own techniques and employs contemporary industrial solutions, confronting them with the traditional language of sculpture. His works operate on the threshold between figuration and abstraction, tradition and modernity, culture and nature. In his practice, he explores two-dimensional space in sculpture.He was awarded first prize in the Home category at the Art in Architecture festival in 2022 and first prize for the sculpture Cyclist at the International Sports and Art Competition in 2012. In 2016, he was included in Aesthetica Art Prize’s list of the 100 most interesting contemporary artists, Future Now. Renes is the author of numerous large-scale public artworks in Poland. One of his most distinguished realizations is located in the Dune House Villa, a private residence designed by Przemysław Olczyk of Mobius Architekci, which received the “Oscar of architecture.”He collaborates with the sports and business sectors, creating prizes and trophies for elite events. His sculptures are held in Polish and international private collections. In 2025, the group Universale 4000x5 was part of one of Europe’s largest contemporary art exhibitions – NordArt in Germany.
