ŁUkasz Ratajczyk

I was born in 1989 in Gdansk. I am a young artist devoted to realistic landscape paintings. My greatest fascinations are places empty and forgotten, places in which the time stands still in waiting, not knowing that nothing will ever happen there. The feeling of peaceful emptiness and calmness are the main motives of my creations. The main topic of my works is the wide understandable journey. My paintings are inspired both by my own trips and American road movies. Pictures filled with colors takes us to a long road into the world of Thelma and Louise or Easy Rider, the heroes which traveled across the desert scenery of the southern states of USA. Still the main inspiration for my paintings is drawn from the works of Edward Hopper. In 2013 I have finished the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk in the atelier of prof. M. Åšwieszewski.
