Sculptor Petr Váňa has left his mark around Czechia. He made the replica of the 1650 Marian Column on Prague’s Old Town Square and has created dozens of sculptures for Czech churches, village squares and hilltops. He even has a statue underwater, at the bottom of the Slapy dam. Now he is working on a sculpture for Nelson Island in Antarctica.
Petr Váňa’s best-known work is probably the replica of the 1650 Marian Column on Old Town Square, on which he worked for an incredible 28 years. It was installed in 2020, but both the locals and visitors feel as if it has always been there. Váňa says there is a very good reason for this.
