Flying, Limestone statue in Michálkovice, Czech Republic
The Flying statue stands prominently at U Kříže, featuring smooth lines and curves that create an illusion of movement through space.
Sculptor Václav Uruba completed this public artwork in 1965, during a period of artistic development in the Ostrava metropolitan region.
The statue represents the progression of modern Czech art in public spaces, integrating geometric forms with industrial district aesthetics.
Visitors can reach the statue by following the main pedestrian path through Michálkovice district, with ample space for viewing from multiple angles.
The structure's shelly limestone material creates distinct surface patterns that change appearance throughout the day as sunlight moves across its surface.
