Tomasz Bartnik

REB is a contemporary artist working across abstract painting and ontological object creation. His practice is structured as an evolving system exploring transformation, thresholds, and material permanence.

Beginning with the Paths of Transition series, his work examined states of instability and passage through layered abstract painting. This exploration expanded into the creation of relic - like objects - sealed material forms that embody irreversible transformation.

Working with wood, fire and dense pigment, REB creates one - of - a - kind works that exist not as representations, but as fixed points within a larger structural continuum.

These works form part of the REB - System of Sealed Transitions.

Each painting and object functions as part of a unified structure investigating the moment when matter becomes form, and form becomes presence.

His works are released as unique pieces and held in private collections.
