The photo from the NGO Jekhetane-Spolu archive shows the Romani artist and curver Ivan Berky Dušík.
The place, date and the author of the photo is not identified with the analogue film. According to the pictures’ content found on the film it is possible to suppose they were taken in 1998. The photos show Ivan Berky Dušík in his workshop while creating a wooden sculpture.
Ivan Berky Dušík comes from Zvolenská Slatina, the place where he still lives and works. His artwork complements the building of the local Municipal Office. He cooperated with the newspaper Romano nevo ľil where he published his many drawings.
In 2003 he won the competition in the Museum of the Romani Culture in Brno, based on this he had created a set of wooden sculptures named Pieta, which remained a part of the permanent Holocaust related exposition of the Museum. As the source of his great inspiration he identifies a well-known Slovak sculptor Jan Kulich, the native of Zvolenská Slatina. Ivan Berky Dušík, although mostly fond of sacral themes, still creates the wooden statues inspired by Roma and their life.
