Fizolek

Fizolek is a bronze dwarf figure situated in the Zacisze-Zalesie-Szczytniki district at knee height with distinctive facial features. The statue displays detailed craftsmanship and expressive characteristics.

The statue was installed on October 22, 2010, joining a collection of bronze dwarfs that originated from the anti-communist Orange Alternative movement of the 1980s. This artistic movement began as a form of peaceful resistance and evolved into a distinctive art trend for the city.

This dwarf sculpture is part of a network of over 400 bronze figures scattered throughout Wrocław, each representing local traditions and aspects of city life. The collection reflects different professions and characteristics that shape the identity of this metropolitan area.

The sculpture can be found near the Hansel and Gretel houses and is easily located using official dwarf maps or mobile applications dedicated to this network. The statue is visible from the street and does not require special access arrangements.

The figure originates from an artistic initiative that began as a protest against the regime and has become a globally recognized symbol of urban creativity. Each statue in this collection tells its own story, transforming the city center into an open museum that visitors can explore at their own pace.
