The task of the sculptors was to create masterpieces of the world, at the same time awakening admiration in the guests of the park and inviting them to think about classic images of the art world, masterpieces created by man, nature and the Universe. Nowadays, masterpieces are given an indefinable value, but we can undoubtedly draw various parallels with the perception of the human world - the digital age, the geopolitical situation in the world and other topics that artists have chosen to highlight in their work.
