For several months now, I have been burdened by a feeling of helplessness… My work is sculpture, and at least this is how I can express a personal expression of respect — respect for the deep grief of someone who has experienced a severe personal loss, the death of a loved one…

Milan Kuzica's work expresses existential questions and complex interpersonal relationships that shape and even deform a person. It expresses the functioning of the contemporary world, which we are surrounded by and which we are often unable to perceive in its often cruel form… Kuzica uses classical techniques in his sculptural work, but he also works with his own developed materials.
