Wojciech Kułach, known as Wawrzyńcok (born March 24, 1812, in Gliczarów, died December 23, 1897) was a Polish folk sculptor active in the Podhale region in the 19th century. He worked with wood, stone, and metal.[1][2]
In the year 1840, he created a bust for the monument to Archduke Franz Karl of Austria in a competition, for which he received the first prize.
He was nicknamed the "Leonardo da Vinci of Gliczarów." Kułach's sketches can be viewed in Gliczarów Górny in the memorial room of Andrzej Skupień Florek.[3][4]
