Digital technology meets art

  • • Cyryl likes to experiment with traditional craftsmanship and digital technology
  • • He derives inspiration from the blurred lines between light and dark
  • • His installation in Slovenia won the Arte Laguna Prize in Venice in 2022

Growing up in a creative family, Cyryl Zakrzewski felt a strong connection to art since early childhood. He developed an interest in sculpting during his studies at the University of Arts in Poznan, Poland, and picked up furniture and wood craftsmanship after his graduation in 2011. Since then, his style has evolved to combine traditional wood carving with digital processing. In his projects he often uses both generative design, CAD and CNC techniques with sculptural craftsmanship. His work can be seen both in his hometown in Poland, as well as in Japan and Slovenia.
