"Ajax the Great, in Greek legend, son of Telamon, king of Salamis, described in the Iliad as being of great stature and colossal frame, second only to the Greek hero Achilles in strength and bravery. He engaged Hector (the chief Trojan warrior) in single combat and later, with the aid of the goddess Athena, rescued the body of Achilles from the hands of the Trojans. He competed with the Greek hero Odysseus for the armour of Achilles but lost, which so enraged him that it caused his death. According to a later story, Ajax’s disappointment drove him mad. On coming to his senses, he slew himself with the sword that he had received as a present from Hector. The legend has it that from his blood sprang a red flower that bore on its leaves the initial letters of his name, AI, letters that are also expressive of lament. Ajax was the tutelary hero of the island of Salamis, where he had a temple and an image and where a festival called Aianteia was celebrated in his honour."

Andrew Walaszek, a contemporary artist residing in Northwest Arkansas, boasts a life and career as vibrant and multifaceted as his paintings. Born in Washington, D.C. in 1954, his artistic foundation was laid during his formative years spent travelling across Europe. From the rich history of Warsaw to the dynamic streets of Glasgow, each location (including Belgrade and Minsk) undoubtedly enriched his artistic perspective. Walaszek returned to the U.S. in 1977, settling in Chicago. For many years, he skillfully balanced a successful career in software development with his artistic passion. It wasn't until 2014 that he fully embraced his artistic calling, establishing a studio at Lake Avalon in Arkansas and dedicating himself to painting full-time. Walaszek's artistic repertoire is a captivating blend of styles, encompassing figurative, abstract, and expressive forms. His creative spark ignites from diverse sources - historical and contemporary events, the whispers of his imagination, the ever-evolving world of technology, and the breathtaking landscapes of the Ozark Mountains. This rich tapestry of influences allows him to translate his experiences and emotions onto the canvas, captivating viewers with his unique artistic vision.
