RL1001 Painting

Born in December 1999 in Warsaw, Poland, Patryk Kiełboń is an abstract artist and photographer who feels most at home in the world of modern art. He started his painting career in 2020, induced by the pandemic to search for a creative reflection of his spiritual journey. His works are the result of experimentation with form, color, and emotions. He strives for the image to act as a vessel for depth and reflection, evoking a sense of silence or tension in the viewer. He paints primarily with acrylics on cotton and linen canvases, and occasionally on reclaimed materials. In his creations, Patryk uses all kinds of available tools, such as wooden boards, rulers, spatulas, sticks, or even his own hands. He executes most of his works horizontally. This is a conscious technical choice, allowing him to maintain control over the movement of the paint and the process of building texture. He creates within a wide range of abstract styles: from expressive abstraction based on dynamic gesture, through geometric minimalism, to peaceful compositions based on the dot-making technique. This meditative style is key for him: here, every dot is a physical trace of a thought, and the repetition of the gesture becomes a form of mindfulness and a way of working with time. In his explorations, he is inspired by the Asian minimalism and the masters of contrast and structure: the dynamic gesture of Jackson Pollock, the harmony and simplicity of Piet Mondrian, and the conceptual approach to infinity of Roman Opałka.
