Olimpek, Dwarf statue in Karłowice-Różanka district, Wrocław, Poland.
Olimpek is a small bronze dwarf statue located in the residential Karłowice-Różanka district as part of Wrocław's collection of miniature public sculptures. The figure stands as a complete artwork within the neighborhood's street landscape, visible to anyone passing through the area.
The statue was installed in 2022 as part of an initiative to add artistic elements to residential neighborhoods throughout Wrocław. This project continues the city's tradition of placing small-scale public artworks where people live and gather.
The statue reflects how local communities in Wrocław embrace public art as part of their neighborhood's identity and daily experience. People walking through the area often share stories about discovering these small sculptures scattered throughout their residential streets.
The statue is located in a calm residential area and can be visited on foot as part of a neighborhood walk. The surrounding streets have sidewalks suitable for pedestrians, and nearby bus stops make it accessible if you prefer not to walk the entire distance.
The statue emerged from a participatory project where neighbors and artists collaborated to decide on the design and placement of the artwork. This made the creation process itself a meaningful part of the community's engagement with public art.
