Installed in the open-air setting of the Art Park in Goa, the exhibition features three monumental white sculptures crafted in polyester resin. The works depict human figures in close interaction with oversized heads\u2014an evocative visual metaphor for intellect, consciousness, memory, and spirituality. These exaggerated heads appear not as burdens but as focal points of reflection, suggesting a state of suspension between the physical body and the immaterial realm of thought and spirit.\nThe exhibition is on view from 14 to 21 December at the Art Park, Serendipity Arts Festival, Goa.\nAbout the Artist:\nTomasz Kocl\u0119ga is a prominent Polish sculptor known for his large-scale figurative works that explore philosophical and existential themes.\nHe graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Krak\u00f3w (Faculty of Graphic Arts, Katowice) in 1993, where he studied drawing and painting under Professor Jacek Ryka\u0142a and lithography under Professor Adam Romaniuk.\nSince 2009, Kocl\u0119ga has been teaching sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice. Prior to this, he worked as a sculpture teacher at several institutions, including the Secondary School of Fine Arts in Zabrze, where he served as Vice-Principal and, for one year, as Principal, as well as at the Silesian College of Information Technology and Medicine in Chorz\u00f3w. He has also taught at international academic institutions in Finland, the United States, and the Czech Republic.\n Working primarily with materials such as resin, bronze, and stone, Kocl\u0119ga combines classical sculptural traditions with a modern minimalist sensibility. His works frequently address concepts of identity, consciousness, spirituality, and the relationship between body and mind. .\nKocl\u0119ga\u2019s sculptures have been exhibited widely in international exhibitions, public spaces, and sculpture parks, earning recognition for their contemplative power and monumental presence. Through his art, he invites audiences to reflect on the invisible forces that shape human experience\u2014thought, belief, memory, and spiritual awareness."},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/2026\/01\/06\/suspensio-spiritualis-tomasz-koclega-at-the-serendipity-arts-festival\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2026\/01\/600260797_1161997632771112_7319478034887243094_n-1.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2026\/01\/600260797_1161997632771112_7319478034887243094_n-1.jpg","width":2048,"height":1536},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/2026\/01\/06\/suspensio-spiritualis-tomasz-koclega-at-the-serendipity-arts-festival\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Suspensio Spiritualis: Tomasz Kocl\u0119ga at the Serendipity Arts Festival"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/#website","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/","name":"Instytut Polski w New Delhi","description":"Instytuty Polskie","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"pl-PL"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/#\/schema\/person\/7de4cd8f7a4148853785bd4be34f7e37","name":"swiecickaa","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/86f9aaa0e0d2990aa00fc825938db258?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/86f9aaa0e0d2990aa00fc825938db258?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"swiecickaa"},"url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/author\/swiecickaa\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3287","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/185"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3287"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3287\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3295,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3287\/revisions\/3295"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3287"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3287"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3287"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
