Richard Orlinski: the union of art and sports

French artist Richard Orlinski unveils his artistic reinterpretation of the two Phrygian Caps, symbols of freedom and mascots of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

These mascots embody the spirit of competition, inclusion, and celebrate the diversity of this globally anticipated sporting and cultural event.

Driven by a desire to make his art accessible to as many people as possible, Richard Orlinski will create 4 reproductions ranging in size from 13 to 18 cm, which will be sold exclusively on the artist's official website.

This collaboration with Paris 2024 is an opportunity for the French sculptor to provide his expertise for the most anticipated event of the year.
