Dorota Nieznalska is one of the most popular and richest Sculptor who was born on September 19, 1973 in Gdansk, Poland. Dorota Alicja Nieznalska was born to a devout family in Gdańsk in 1973. Raised in the Gdańsk-Gdynia–Sopot Tricity area, Nieznalska was educated at an art high school in Gdynia Orłowo. Nieznalska enrolled at Gdańsk’s Academy of Fine Arts as a student of sculpture in 1993, a year after making her first solo exhibition in her native city. Nieznalska’s fine arts instructors were the Professors Franciszek Duszeńko and Grzegorz Klaman. Nieznalska graduated from the academy in 1999 and exhibited a number of student works (Insemination, 1997; The Pleasure Principle, 1998; Absolution, 1999) in the 1990s. She subsequently participating in three major exhibitions in Gdańsk, Warsaw, and Białystok in 2000 and 2001.
Nieznalska’s controversial installation Pasja (2002), which included the placement of an image of the penis upon a metal Greek cross, resulted in a notable scandal, as the display was condemned as immoral and blasphemous by Polish conservative Catholics. The group exhibition at which the installation was presented was closed down by the authorities, while Nieznalska herself faced legal charges on account of an alleged violation of a provision of the Polish criminal code prohibiting blasphemy.
Nieznalska was acquitted after an arduous process and multiple appeals in June
- The Gazeta Wyborcza hailed the decision as “a toast to freedom.”
The sculptor was successful in fighting off the blasphemy conviction following the favorable ruling of an appeals court in 2009.
Blasphemy charges were levelled against Nieznalska after an exhibition featuring the 2002 work Pasja (“Passion”), an artistic installation concerned with the themes of masculinity and suffering. The installation was displayed at the experimental Gdańsk, Wyspa Gallery, an institution associated with the academy, and consisted of two elements: a large Greek cross made of metal was suspended from the ceiling of the gallery, and covered; its center was filled in with an image of a man’s hips, thighs, and penis. Behind the cross, the viewer’s attention was drawn to a large video, its display projecting from an overhead angle the face and shoulders of a grimacing man in the act of weight- lifting. The viewer’s inability to behold the man’s body, his other body parts being cut off from the screen, concocted an effect of ambiguity as to the activity of the man on the screen, suggesting that the man’s feeling of torment could have been the effect of other kinds of activity. The installation would be described by some as depicting “the penis of Christ” in the ensuing controversy.

Dorota Alicja Nieznalska (born September 19, 1973) is a Polish visual artist and sculptor.
Gdańsk activists of the right-wing League of Polish Families began a petition to the local authorities to open a legal case following the release of television footage of the exhibition. Complaints about Pasja led to Nieznalska’s being summoned to report to the local police on 2 March 2002. The city’s rightist municipal councilors quickly closed the exhibition while the young artist, insisting that her intention was to focus on “the cult of the male body”, became the defendant of a trial concerning Nieznalska’s alleged violation of the criminal code. Nieznalska’s upcoming exhibits in Słupsk and Ostrów Wielkopolski were cancelled after further intervention from the League of Polish Families. Members of the nationalist youth group Młodzież Wszechpolska threatened to “hang such artists” and “shave their heads, like the Home Army did with women who were in close relationships with [the] Germans”
At the conclusion of the first legal process in 2003, the court found Nieznalska guilty of “offending religious feelings”, a violation of the ban on blasphemy within Article 196 of the criminal code. Judge Tomasz Zieliński denied that Nieznalska’s work was entitled to any special constitutional protection as an object of art, stating that “the fact that a work is within the boundaries of art has no significance for whether it can offend the feelings of other people.” The court ordered Nieznalska to perform six months of unpaid community service. The trial prosecutor had originally demanded a fine of 2000 złoty, but the court decided to increase the penalty. Judge Zieliński additionally forbade Nieznalska from traveling out of the country. The local deputies of the League of Polish Families present during the sentencing clapped to express their approval.
