Richard Orlinski was born on January 6, 1966, in Paris, France. After earning a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Paris – Sorbonne in 1990, he pursued a traditional career in real estate until a personal burnout in 2004 prompted him to devote himself full-time to art.

Orlinski’s first public sculpture was unveiled in 2004: a red resin crocodile that prefigured his signature “Born Wild” series of faceted animal forms. “Born Wild” sculptures — animals such as lions and gorillas — combine pop-art sensibility with cubist geometry and have appeared in over 200 galleries and public installations worldwide.
