A student of anthropology, de Kwiatkowski is interested on the influence of the past and ancient cultures on the present. The continuum through time of central tenets of human existence are given voice through his heavily hand-worked pieces.

“I have a strong respect for things that are spiritual, hand-made and primordial objects and structures in particular reflect this hand-made ethos and speak to me through time,” he says. “It is the essence of the human touch that makes the work human as well as timeless.” Ancient objects feel imbued with meaning because of their connection to a past and that creates a sensorial nostalgia. His sculptures in particular relate to this thought of expressing an organic and timeless ethos echoing through millennia. “Essentially everything I make is intended to be a talisman of good intentions. A visual mantra of purity and rebirth. A search for a golden age, my work is a constant affirmation, guide and conversation with my heart.”
