Tomáš Medek's sculptural work is characterised by an interest in interior space of the sculpture, which is built as an intricately shaped structure resembling a network of molecules or crystalline lattices. From the initial cubes, created by from common objects such as spoons or bottles, Medek began in 2000 to working on sculptures of anthropomorphic shapes inspired by the world nature. The basis for the series called Nature (bio) Insights was natural crops - peppers, pumpkins or patisons. The objects transformed into abstracted shapes are formed by spatial networks reminiscent of 3D computer technology. In 2005 Medek began working on sculptures created by computer - some of the objects are a direct 3D prints from the computer, made of plastic or plaster, others are created by hand" from wood, maramor, or bronze according to computer designs.
