In comparison with painting and drawing works there were relatively few sculptural works of Zdzislaw Beksinski. The artist constantly stressed that it had not come from the lack of interest in this type of creativity (far from it), but had always been the cause of space limitations and the lack of appropriate conditions. The first art works – paintings-reliefs, which made Beksinski well-known in Polish art in the mid-50s, were created in the spirit of the allusive abstraction. Entering into the mainstream of the abstraction, the artist created his works in his own, independent way. In the 60s almost simultaneously with these extremely interesting, multi-plane, abstract works (which the substantial collection was given to the National Museum in Wroclaw by the artist at the time of his moving out from Sanok) there were made figural sculptures with literary titles. Apart from the large-size figural sculpture of  Hamlet the Sanok Museum is held an interesting cycle of heads made out of patinated plaster. Their irregular shape with many holes resemble somewhat skulls.
