STANISLAV MIKUŠ
From 1974 to 1980, he studied at the College of Fine Arts in Bratislava. After completing basic preparation, he focused on the studies of Prof. R. Pribiš in the Department of Relief Sculpture.
Since completing his studies, he has worked in free professions – he is implementing an extensive set of sculptural works in architecture, in the area of monument and memorial formation, as well as in the area of free formation – with special emphasis on the figural female torso, nudes, or, more precisely, composition. He is also dedicated to the non-traditional layering of decorative sculpture, or more precisely the composition of architectonic objects, genre composition, useful aspects of free sculptural work designed for gardens, and interior decorative sculptural work – in the area of glass, ceramics, bronze, stone, and specifically malleable and moulded materials and structural metals.
He has realized an extensive collection of works in the area of sculptural portrait and monument formation, which is dedicated to national activists, traditions and movements related to Matica Slovenská. Also appreciable and notable are his initiatives related to sacral topics and motives – they are dedicated to the Cyril and Methodius traditions, as well as Christological motifs and values. Also remarkable are his art and artistic initiatives, conceptual activities and especially the, thus far, implemented collection and range of diverse and impressive sculptural creations which he, as the author of truly inventive works, applied in the completion of Bratislava.
