František Štorek

František Štorek was a Czech sculptor.

Štorek's father and uncle owned a forge that supplied ornate Art Nouveau decorative elements, and the future sculptor learned this science from childhood. He studied at the Higher Industrial School of Sculpture and Stonemasonry in Gorzyca and at the Academy of Arts in Prague.

At first Štorek worked with stone and wrought iron, but since 1967 he has been working with bronze and iron sculptures welded from thick plates. He created figures and human torsos in the spirit of magical realism, and interpreted ancient myths. He is the author of the third largest bronze statue in the Czech Republic - Icarus in front of the municipality in Ostrava, and he also sculpted the fountain in the Puchov Vekoše residential complex in Hradec Králové.
