David Moješčík - MojDa | Sculpture

MgA. David Moješčík is a Czech sculptor, nicknamed MojDa. He was born on July 25, 1974, in Frýdek - Místek (CR). After finishing primary school, he first trained as a stonemason (1988 - 1991) and worked briefly as a stonemason. In 1993 he was admitted to the Secondary School of Stone and Sculpture in Hořice v Podkrkonoší, where he graduated in 1996. In 1996, he was admitted to FaVU VUT in Brno, where he studied under Prof. Akad. soch. Preclík. He continued his studies from 1998 to 1999 in Prague at AVU under Prof. Akad. soch. Hendrych in the studio of figurative sculpture. In 1999, he returned to Brno, where he studied under Prof. Akad. soch. M. Gabriel. He completed his studies in 2002 with a Master of Arts (MgA.) degree. In 2007, he went on a creative residency, "The Cill Rialaig Project," in Ballinskelligs, Ireland. He participated in a number of solo and group exhibitions. Among the group exhibitions, notable participations are the 2009 International Art Fair Brno, the presentation of DSC Prague, Brno, Exhibition Centre, the 2016 - 2017 Rustle of Angel Wings - Angels in European art, at Olomouc Museum of Art; the 2022, 2023, and 2024 NordArt, at Kunstwerk Carlshütte, Büdelsdorf, Germany.

MojDa deals with figurative sculpture in his work. He uses all the advantages of sculpture in terms of material, which allows him to vary his sculptures in many different positions, poses, and postures. Although he also explores and uses the latest technologies, he constantly tries to follow the classical lines of creation and give the sculptures the touch of the human hand. He finds inspiration not only in the philosophy of yoga but also in Egyptian, ancient, and European classical sculpture. In addition to the aforementioned free figurative work, he is interested in public art. He uses his own approach and handwriting in these subjects as well, but he often likes to work with hidden symbols or a greater or lesser degree of irony and exaggeration. Many of these works are only in the form of projects and visualizations, some of which he has managed to realize - either alone or in collaboration with other artists.
