Story
Artgeistki are two artistic dwarf companions — a Painter and a Graphic Designer — who found their home at the creative headquarters of Artgeist.pl on ul. Krakowska. These two are never idle: the Painter is forever caught mid-brushstroke, while the Graphic Designer contemplates compositions only they can see. Locals say that standing between the two long enough will inspire you with an irresistible urge to redecorate your living room.
History & Significance
The two dwarfs stand at ul. Krakowska 37-45, at the offices of Artgeist.pl, a Wroclaw-based company specialising in large-format wall art, canvas prints, and decorative murals. The dwarfs reflect the creative nature of the company and were placed to celebrate the brand's visual identity and connection to Wroclaw's growing reputation as a design and culture hub.
Inspiration
Artgeistki (the name is a feminine-plural diminutive of 'artgeist', blending 'art' with the German 'Geist' meaning spirit or ghost) represent the soul of visual creativity. Their two figures — Painter and Graphic Designer — mirror the two main pillars of Artgeist's business: traditional art print and modern digital design. Together they embody the company's mission of bringing art into everyday spaces.
Fun Facts

- Artgeist.pl, the company behind the dwarfs, specialises in large-format canvas prints and custom wall murals.
- The name blends the English word 'art' with the German 'Geist' (spirit), creating a bilingual nod to their creative soul.
