metal sculpture Tin Baboma (2014.III) is a metal fetish and a tin author’s interpretation of a fetish from the Congolese Baboma tribe. The sculptures of this tribe are distinguished by, among other things, flat heads in the shape of a rhombus or a circle. The original is currently in the collection of the State Ethnographic Museum in Warsaw.

Tin Baboma was created based on a wooden fetish that I covered with sheet metal. Similarly to the work ‘Rusty Tlingit’, it comes from the “ethnic” period of my work, i.e. fresh after ethnological studies.

What distinguishes Baboma is the author’s use of welding to frame the original wooden fetish. This technique gave it a completely new dimension, which is both modern and traditional. The sculpture is a perfect combination of old and new and reflects the essence of the Baboma tribe’s craftsmanship

In my original metal sculptures, I avoid the obvious or current trends. Above all, I focus on originality and uniqueness so that my effort does not get lost in the crowd of projects by other artists or craftsmen. It is the uniqueness and characteristic style of my works that guarantee you an increase in their value over the years. The metal sculpture “Tin Baboma” is part of this growing creative output and you can find more about me in biogram
