Kuba Grydniewski

He died on November 27, 2023

Polish contemporary artist based on Crete.
He works primarily with picture, drawing, instalation, ready - made, computer graphic.
His work is closely related to the tradition of painting that emphasizes the importance of color as a decisive factor in the composition of the image and the means of expression. His textural rich paintings have a certain ironic distance, a defiance that goes hand in hand with the climate of mystery, anxiety and loneliness.
His painting and artistic search are the fullest and, at the same time, the most sensitive record of his personality, spiritual searches and changes taking place in him.
The painting issues he deals with strongly refer to tradition, which is a constant source of inspiration, both intellectually, artistically and in terms of technique.
