Iván Paulikovics was born in 1953 and graduated from the Hungarian University of Fine Arts in 1977 as a student of József Somogyi. The works of sculptor Iván Paulikovics are figurative and realistic in perspective. His small sculptures are characterized by intricate detail. The figures have dynamism and character – they generate their own space. Their proportions and postures make them seem so real that it feels as if they could move out of their frozen stance inside the sculpture at any moment. The dynamism of the composition often results from the daring combination of materials. Each sculpture has a deep philosophical core that brings together the interior and exterior.
