Glazed ceramics

Each of us carries an inner instinct that quietly points us in the right direction. We only need the courage to listen to it.

For centuries, the wolf has symbolized independence, loyalty, and strength of character. It does not follow the crowd—it trusts its instincts and remains true to its nature.

Call of Instinct is a contemporary sculpture about the courage to live authentically. It reminds us that true freedom comes from staying true to who we are, even when the world expects us to be someone else.

Handmade and decorated work by Iwo Rynkiewicz. Each of the kids is decorated in a unique way. The figures are fired in an electric furnace at a temperature of 1000 degrees Celsius. Signed on the bottom. With the help of this series, Iwo Rynkiewicz very often comments on the reality and current events in the world.

Iwo Rynkiewicz (born in 1970 in Warsaw, Poland) is a Polish sculptor and ceramic artist. He grew up in Lidzbark Warmiński and inherited his passion for art from his family—his grandfather was the Swedish painter Kurt Sandström.

In 1987, he co-founded the Kobron artistic group, associated with Poland’s independent art scene and early street art movement. He initially worked in graffiti and painting before dedicating himself entirely to ceramic sculpture in 1994, developing a distinctive artistic language that has become instantly recognizable.

Rynkiewicz’s work combines contemporary ceramics with influences from pop art, street art, and symbolism. His sculptures frequently feature recurring motifs such as animals, masks, crowns, hearts, and elements of popular culture, inviting viewers to create their own interpretations. His artistic inspiration also draws on biblical themes and characters that evoke the atmosphere of the interwar period.
