Juan Soriano was often referred to as 'The Mozart of Painting' due to his precocious talent as a child artist.
The garden hosts some of Soriano's most iconic monumental works, including the 'Moon' sculpture.
The foundation was established by Marek Keller, Soriano's longtime partner and collector.
Many of the bronze sculptures were cast in Italian foundries before being transported to Poland.
The garden layout was intentionally designed to reflect the aesthetic preferences Soriano displayed in his private residences.
The artist frequently visited the site during his lifetime to oversee the placement of his works within the greenery.
Ogród Rzeźb Juana Soriano is a private sculpture garden located in the village of Owczarnia, near Brwinów.

The collection features large-scale bronze animal figures, including his signature birds, bulls, and horses. The sculptures are integrated into a landscaped garden setting that prioritizes natural light and spatial interaction.
