The message of the new Guardian Angels collection

Minimalist stainless steel figures become a mirror reflecting the world and the person looking into them. They are a silent symbol of hope, goodness, and protection that transcends the visible.

They are a silent symbol of hope, goodness, and protection that transcends the visible.

“In today’s restless and challenging times, I believe people need a reminder of something that will give them a sense of hope and protection,” says sculptor Vilém Frič. “Sculpture is my language and form of dialogue. That’s why I created this collection of minimalistically crafted Guardian Angels.”

Each sculpture in this limited series is handcrafted, imbued with the energy of the moment and subtle, original details. The artist chose stainless steel, intentionally utilizing its reflective surface to play with light, space, and movement. “Steel becomes a mirror – reflecting the world around it and the person looking at it. What happens around us is simultaneously reflected within us. We thus become part of the whole—a connection of light, space, and presence. In this way, we can also influence what happens around us and become part of the change.”

These guardian angel sculptures are both a reminder and a positive message. They embody the belief that even in challenging times, something more exists—a form of goodness that transcends us, even if we cannot always perceive it.

Introducing

Guardian Angel by Vilém Frič

The Guardian Angel from the Guardian Angels collection is among the main sculptures in this series.

Each piece thus carries its own energy, unique details, and the signature of the moment it was created. In its minimalist stainless steel concept, the sculpture embodies a delicate balance between fragility and strength, light and matter. Its form evokes movement, wings, and stillness. The intentionally clean lines and reflective surface invite quiet contemplation and a personal dialogue with what transcends us.

Upon closer inspection, the observer may notice a subtle detail – a part of the viewer’s face is reflected in the angel’s head. This moment is fundamental for the artist. “It’s no coincidence,” says sculptor Vilém Frič. “What happens around us is simultaneously reflected within us. We thus become part of the whole – a connection of light, space, and presence. And perhaps through this awareness, we can also influence what happens around us.”

Introducing

Sculpture Angel Wings I.

This series presents minimalist, yet symbolically powerful figures – sculptures of vigilant presence, archetypes of protection that embody both gentleness and strength. The artist works with the contrast of stainless steel and stone, with reflection and tranquility, with movement and balance. The polished metal captures the surrounding world, light, and the viewer – creating a space for reflection and connection.

“It doesn’t matter if we believe in angels,” says Frič. “They are here because we feel them. They represent not only physical objects but also a conceptual space – an invitation to pause and connect with our own breath of presence.”
