Mikolaj Obrycki was born in Szczecin. From 1997 to 2003 he studied painting, graphics and sculpture at Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan. He gained his degree in painting in the art studio of professor Jerzy Kalucki. He had started to exhibit his works long before he commenced his education at the Academy. The first exhibition of his paintings was held in his hometown, Szczecin, in 1994. Obrycki’s paintings, no matter if figurative or abstract are always unrestrained and free in their way of presenting the subject. His paintings inspired by music deserve special attention. It might be this particular combination of the painter’s talent and musical education the Author has gained that helps to convey his message with aid of minimal means and suggestive music. He is one of the most talented painters of young generation.

What lies behind the horizon? About Mikolaj Obrycki's paintings
Echoes of the classics sound in Mikolaj Obrycki's paintings. From single objects similar to Monett's, blue figures of Picasso and his Harlequins, through synthetic landscapes of Nicolas de Stael, compositions of T.P. Potworowski and simple scenes of Jozef Czapski - all of these motives and forms that state a direct connection with these great predecessors appear in Mikolaj's works. We cannot, however, put his works into plain comparison with the classics of the kind. We can find a specific liberal attitude - most clearly seen in "Birds" and "Friends", or in the animal motives and bar scenes - a frequent topic of his works. The other side of his works can be seen in his landscapes, in which synthetically treated form and radically simple compositions seem to reflect the inspirations coming from the far eastern paintings. The simplicity of the form comes with the aware, and often very sublime, usage of paint that contributes to the expression of these synthetically treated forms. Color sensitivity and very good technique are no doubt his attributes.
