Ján Cigánik from the village of Dolina pri Nitra has been engaged in a unique activity for decades: creating sculptures from wicker. It is not an easy job, as it involves not only great skill and mastery. But at the same time, it is necessary to know how to grow dozens of kilograms of your own wicker, to be a meteorologist, to make tools that cannot be bought anywhere, and last but not least, you need to have a family around you that tolerates hundreds of hours spent in the workshop working on wicker sculptures.
