The 60-year-old’s home in Ruda Slaska, a small town in Poland’s southern Silesia region, is filled with such sculptures as well as plastic bags full of matchboxes.

A local celebrity, he likes to make the sculptures as gifts and rarely sells them.

But some of his works are displayed at a local museum and a replica of his local church was donated to the parish.

“I’m proud of every one of my works,” Urbanski said. “When I make something, it’s big. Of course it takes time, but I put my heart into it.”
