Jan Stapor

A 34-year-old self-taught artist who has been painting for just over three years – everything he knows, he has achieved through hard work, without anyone's help, because he had no teachers. He did not study at the Academy of Fine Arts, did not attend any courses, not even drawing classes – he taught himself everything, gradually learning from masters such as Bacon, Soutine and Gillet.

An outsider, a voyeur who enjoys watching and observing. Fascinated by people — especially their faces, the stories they hide, the emotions, fears, and hopes they carry, and above all, the archetypes they subconsciously embody.

He approaches painting in an expressive and impulsive way, striving to plan as little as possible in order to translate his impressions of the portrayed subject onto the canvas in the purest and most intuitive manner. He loves to experiment with paint, as he cherishes the liberated expression and the element of unpredictability inherent in the creative act.
