Lux Mentis (Light of the Mind)

Record: The artist is the author of a bronze public sculpture in South Korea valued at over €1,000,000.

Lux Mentis is a study of the relationship between what is material and flawed, and what is perfect and elusive. The project forms part of Tomasz Koclęga’s broader investigations, focused on the relationship between form, perception, and the inner experience of the human being.

A dynamic figure, almost painful in its form, becomes the foundation for a luminous point – a golden sphere. The titular Light of the Mind symbolizes an idea born in hardship, yet one that ultimately illuminates and gives meaning to human existence. Gold, contrasting with the rawness of the metal, underscores the sacred nature of intellectual and spiritual triumph over matter.
