In 2010, Władysław Dudek created a plaster sculpture project depicting Frederic Chopin. In the same year, the object was shown at the exhibition "Chopin - Dialogue of Space," which aimed to show an attempt to translate the ephemeral language of music into three-dimensional sculpture. The exhibition was held in the Golden Hall of the Krakow Philharmonic Hall and ten artist-sculptors representing different generations and styles of creation presented their vision. Frederic Chopin as interpreted by Władysław Dudek is characterized by an in-depth psychological feature and a great deal of expression. The head of the famous composer, tilted towards the title, with closed eyes and an expression of great concentration on his face, makes audible the piano sounds of Chopin's most emotional works, so close to the Polish heart.
