About Hubert Bujak

Nature and Man – a broad topic which has been inspiring artists for centuries. Nowadays it also engages many authors, who try to face it when adjusting to the new reality and diversity of the media. This motif also preoccupies Hubert Bujak - an artist from Wrocław, who tries in his works to raise issues related to nature, archaic beliefs, symbols rooted in consciousness, and metaphysical themes. Huber Bujak graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław and nowadays he is engaged with painting and sculpture. It is worth mentioning that in his work he puts special emphasis to the act of creation, which to a large extent - more than a problem or inspiration - conditions and influences the final form of the work. Therefore, the objects he creates cannot be clearly classified, which yet does not mean that they do not have a uniform conceptual tissue. On the contrary - the issues raised in them refer to related areas. And those have a specific, ritual aura.

Education:

Born in 1980. In the period 2005-2010 he studied at the Faculty of Painting and Sculpture of the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław. In 2010 he defended his thesis titled Search for structure, for which he received a distinction. Painting and sculpture are his basic means of artistic expression. Since the completion of his studies in 2010, he has created a number of works as part of original artistic projects: eight individual exhibitions and a dozen or so group exhibitions. In his strictly figurative works the artist uses simple forms, symbols, archetypes and motifs related to culture, finding for them new appropriate contexts.
He lives and works in Wrocław.
