Dolbik

Dolbik is a small bronze figure standing at a street corner in Szczepin, a neighborhood of Wrocław. It measures around 30 cm (1 ft) in height and depicts a dwarf in a distinctive pose that forms part of the city's larger public art project.

The dwarf art project began in the 1980s as an artistic response to the political circumstances of that time. This particular statue was added in 2017 as part of the ongoing expansion of the collection across different neighborhoods.

The figure belongs to a movement that began in the 1980s as a form of quiet protest and now shapes the city's identity. Visitors can observe how artists express their creativity through the varied facial expressions and poses they give to each dwarf.

The statue sits in a residential area and is easy to reach on foot if you follow the dwarf art route through the city. You can visit it anytime since it sits in public space, and it looks best when viewed up close during daylight hours.

Each dwarf statue in Wrocław was created by different artists, so every one has a different face and its own story. Some depict craftspeople at work, others playfully interact with their surroundings, creating a treasure hunt as you explore the city.
