My favorite szopka in the exhibit

This most unusual szopka was created by Kazimierz Stopiński, who is actually listed in Wiki http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazimierz_Stopiński but I can't understand what it says about him :-(. I would love to have bought this one, but it wasn't for sale during the exhibit, and nobody there spoke English well enough to tell me how to contact the artist.

I can read on the Exhibit's site that this szopka got the 2nd prize in the small size category this year.

Translation about Kazimierz Stopiński - born in. 1949 – a szopka maker from Krakow, a turner and mechanic by profession. Taking part in the Krakow contests since 1979 and specializes in the small size szopkas. He got the first place in 1980 and in 2003 and several 2nd and 3rd prizes as well as honorable mentions.
