Richard Orlinski

Born in Paris in 1966, Richard Orlinski is a French sculptor who has taken the art world by storm with his bold, colorful, and instantly recognizable sculptures. Orlinski's artistic journey began in the early 2000s, and his unique style quickly gained international acclaim.  His monochromatic diamond-cut sculptures of wildlife and cultural icons have earned the artist international acclaim.
