Artistic career

  • Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri – Bodzewicz created a 3D visual adaptation of Dante’s epic, exploring the journeys through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Integrating traditional oil paintings with digital media, this series examined themes of suffering, redemption, and spirituality..[1].
  • The Myth of Eternal Return by Mircea Eliade – Bodzewicz explored Eliade’s concept of cyclical time and the idea of eternal return in human history. This project consisted of paintings and sculptures symbolizing the repetitive patterns of human experience.[2].
  • Paradise Lost by John Milton – Bodzewicz’s reinterpretation of Milton’s seminal work examined themes such as free will, moral choice, and divine authority. The project combined large-scale paintings with augmented reality elements, offering an interactive and multi-dimensional portrayal of the Fall of Man.[4].
