Piotrek

Piotrek is a bronze figure standing in a public area of Nowy Dwór district in Wrocław and part of the extensive collection of dwarf statues throughout the city. The statue displays typical features of these small-scale artworks scattered across various locations.

The figure was installed in 2014 and belongs to a movement that started in the 1980s, when art objects carried critical messages against political oppression. This early protest art later became an independent artistic tradition of the city.

This dwarf statue participates in a collecting tradition that shapes how locals and visitors experience different neighborhoods of the city. The figures have become recognizable symbols that define the character and identity of the place.

The statue sits in an easy-to-reach spot in Nowy Dwór where you can photograph it during a walk through the neighborhood. Using a local guide or dwarves-tracking app helps you find other figures nearby.

The figure was created by an artist whose works are part of a broader artistic movement that grew spontaneously and continues receiving new installations. Some visitors collect the locations of all figures as a personal project, leading to unplanned explorations across different parts of the city.
