Zbigniew Skrzypek

Hello !

My passion for art has roots in my childhood in Poland when I used to watch my grandfather make puppets for his theatre. My artistic imagination developed through watching him create.
I decided to pursue art at the secondary and university level education. I also organised many exhibitions in Poland, Belgium, and Canada.

Someone once asked me why do I paint? I answered: Why do birds sing…?
I feel the need to show what I see and how I see it.

Why women’s portraits? What could be more interesting? I love to analyse faces; it always amazes me how small details can tell so much about what a person might think or feel.

Landscape is a journey of a man lost somewhere between sky and water.
I feel that I am a part of nature and nature is a part of me. My bas-reliefs are also an attempt of capturing nature's beauty.

Abstract has always been something that attracted me as well. I feel an undefined need to create certain mental tension that evokes internal vibration in the viewer.

Even though I started my journey with painting many years ago, every time I discover in it something new and it is always full of surprises. I hope to continue my passion and to share my feelings and experiences with you.
