Richard Orlinski, through the concept "Born Wild", focuses on transforming negative vital impulses to positive emotions, to pass from primordial instinct to civilized emotion. The vectors of this metamorphosis are the aesthetics of the work, the quest of perfection and the viewer's perception. Orlinski thinks that art is accessible to everybody; he creates works of art that act on our impulses, our archaisms.
