BIOGRAPHY

Born in 1966, Richard Orlinski is a Parisian sculptor famous for his depictions of animals and symbols of mass culture in Pop and Street Art.

After obtaining numerous degrees from prestigious universities such as the University of Paris-1 and the Institut de management international de Paris, Orlinski began working while devoting himself to art for leisure. In the early 2000s, he quit his job to devote himself entirely to art, presenting his first work to the public in 2004, namely a sculpture of a crocodile in red resin entitled Born Wild©.

"My animals reflect the human soul, its flaws, our animal side, an in-depth exploration of human nature." - Richard Orlinski

From this moment on, the artist explores the impulses of violence, convinced that art is the means to appease human instincts. And so it is that the crocodile made by Richard Orlinski becomes an iconic work of his artistic production. Subsequently, international art galleries decided to exhibit his artworks in Aspen in the USA and at the Fiac in Paris.

Orlinski also began a series of collaborations, the most important of which include those with the chocolatier Jean-Paul Hévin, the chef Frédéric Anto, the goldsmith Christofle, the fashion brand The Kooples, and the amusement park Disneyland Paris. For the latter, he created a sculpture of Mickey Mouse as the sorcerer's apprentice, reprising the character featured in the animated film Fantasia to celebrate the park's 25th anniversary.

In 2014, a sculpture by Richard Orlinski sold for €15 million.

The general public appreciates his sculptures as much as his artworks are part of art collections of celebrities such as Sharon Stone, Paul McCartney, Harrison Ford, Meryl Streep, Andy Garcia, Richard Branson, David Guetta, Tony Parker, and Omar Sy.

Besides being a world-renowned sculptor, Richard Orlinski is a painter, musician, and comedian. Orlinski is so interested in all forms of art that he was appointed Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters by French Minister of Culture Roselyne Bachelot-Narquin in 2021.

This striking black resin sculpture captures a horse mid-rear, its form rendered in bold, faceted geometry that evokes both strength and elegance. The glossy finish reflects light dynamically across its angular surface, giving the piece a modern, almost futuristic edge. Vivid green eyes pierce through the darkness, imbuing the work with a lifelike intensity and spirit. Horse is a powerful fusion of energy and refinement—a contemporary tribute to one of nature’s most majestic creatures.
