Igor Mikoda’s work encompasses a broad spectrum of artistic forms, from figurative and realistic sculptures to complex spatial installations. His works are often spatial hybrids that integrate various techniques and materials, showcasing creative freedom and the flexibility of matter. He explores contemporary digital techniques such as 3D modeling, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR), experimenting with new forms of artistic expression. He describes his style as mystical realism, drawing inspiration from the works of surrealists and symbolists. The themes of his works are derived from mythology, folk legends, as well as fantasy and science fiction literature. His works often reference these richly imaginative and symbolic sources, creating unique compositions that blend elements of reality with fantastical visions. He is the author of over 30 solo exhibitions and has participated in numerous group exhibitions in Poland and abroad, including in Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, and Norway.
