created: 13. 01. 2022 14:21 modified: 13. 01. 2022 14:21
The map of Slovakia was forged in 2014. "I wanted to forge the map before, but there was never time for that," says its author Róbert Rigó. A Roma wheel is built on the map, which symbolizes the history of the Roma in Slovakia. "Everyone who looks at the product knows what I wanted. It is a delicate product, small and affordable," added R. Rigó. Product dimensions: 15.4 cm (length), 6 cm (width), 6.3 cm (height).
Róbert Rigó is an artistic blacksmith from Dunajská Lužná. Hand-forged items come from his blacksmith shop and the Hephaeston blacksmith shop. From small candlesticks to large railings or dominant gates. They can be found all over Slovakia and in many countries around the world.
Róbert Rigó focuses on traditional works with an effort to preserve old Romani blacksmith motifs and techniques.
He is the chairman of OZ Charťikano, which organizes an event called the European Roma Forging Symposium.
In the past, Dunajská Lužná was called the Iron Village. The blacksmith craft has a tradition of more than 300 years and to this day there is the largest number of blacksmith workshops in the whole of Slovakia.
