He has ranked among the top 10 best-selling French artists since 2011. One of his works was knocked down at auction for €680,000.
His leitmotif is to make his sculptures accessible to as many people as possible, which is why many of his large-scale works are exhibited in public spaces such as the French Alps, Paris or Cannes.
Curious by nature and eager to express his creativity in other disciplines, Orlinski has also developed a passion for music, theater and cinema. His electropop singles have charted in France and abroad.
His autobiography was recently published by Michel Lafon. Numerous celebrities are among his collectors: Sharon Stone, Paul McCartney, Harrison Ford, Meryl Streep, Andy Garcia, Richard Branson, Phillip Plein, David Guetta, Tony Parker and Omar Sy, among others. Richard Orlinski lives and works in Paris.
He began his artistic career in 2004 and created his first work, a crocodile made of bright red resin, which quickly became an icon in the sculptor’s bestiary.
The artist draws inspiration from pop culture, everyday objects and the popular. Richard Orlinski quickly developed new sculptures, often animals, all symbols of freedom, power and passion. The result is a series of powerful works with pop colors and a multi-faceted style that will travel the world.
Very quickly, exhibiting his often spectacularly large works in unusual locations and in the open air became his trademark. Driven by the desire to democratize art and make it accessible to as many people as possible, Richard Orlinski is interested in all means of expression and his art knows no boundaries.
In 2021, he was appointed Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters by the Minister of Culture, Roselyne Bachelot-Narquin. With almost 9 million followers on Instagram, Richard Orlinski gathers a community of amateurs and enthusiasts who are very committed.
