Things Boys Want To Know Painting

I am a Polish-born artist and painter currently based in Manchester, UK. I earned my Fine Art (BA) degree from Manchester Metropolitan University in 2013. My work has been exhibited internationally in Germany, the US, Greece, and the UK. In 2020, I received the Granada Foundation Gallery Exhibition Award at the Manchester Open Awards for my piece "Class." As an artist, I'm fascinated by the intricate relationship between our conscious and unconscious thoughts. My art delves into the uncharted territories of our subconscious, seeking to unearth hidden imagery. In my painting, I infuse forms and spaces with an eerie sense of depth, inviting viewers to explore the enigmatic layers beneath the surface. My work serves as visual suggestions into the potentially concealed recesses of the mind, challenging observers to contemplate the territory of unspoken and the unseen. As a neurodivergent individual, I aim to analyse the subconscious, inviting viewers into a contemplative dialogue. My work is also motivated by the visible surroundings. I am particularly passionate about human rights, the LGBTQI+ community, and cultural diversity. I am a co-founder of EARTS, formerly known as Europia Art Collective. EARTS is dedicated to supporting European art and artists in Manchester and beyond, raising awareness of European traditions within contemporary social and political climates. By fostering freedom, authenticity, and the growth of creative expression, EARTS provides a safe and nourishing space for European artists to exchange ideas and information, ensuring their cultural contributions are recognized and celebrated.
