This book is a valuable and necessary work that deserves a very high rating, mainly due to the original and insightful approach to discovering and examining spiritual elements in the art of sculpture, as well as the small number of such studies in Polish psychological literature. The aim of the book is to examine the concept of spirituality, which, according to the author, permeates the personal views and way of experiencing of sculptor artists who are graduates of the Antoni Kenar State High School of Fine Arts in Zakopane.

The author managed to give the book an interdisciplinary character in terms of psychology and art, while maintaining clarity and methodological consistency, thanks to which the book is characterized by scientific objectivity. In addition, the results of qualitative research may be important inspirations for further quantitative research allowing to verify the observed tendencies. By reading the book, the reader can gain a lot of valuable and useful information regarding various aspects of spirituality and its relationship to the creative process of artist-sculptors. Without hesitation, the book can be recommended as valuable and useful not only for psychologists and artists, but also for a wide range of people interested in spirituality in its universal dimension.

The author's focus is on human spirituality. The research concept is phenomenological in its essence: the author is interested in spirituality as a phenomenon manifesting itself in experience and making itself known in various forms of expression, for example, verbal. What distinguishes the author's research from other research already carried out is the focus on the phenomenon as perceived by a specific person, who is connected with others by the fact that, like them, he is an active artist-sculptor originating from a specific socio-cultural environment described in the work. The book has 222 pages, a format of 240x162 mm and a hardcover. It was published in 2025 by the Scientific Publishing House of the Ignatianum University.
