Jan Stapor

As a self-taught painter, his artistic identity was forged outside the walls of academia, shaped entirely by a visceral process of trial and error. He operates as a voyeuristic outsider, endlessly fascinated by the human face—not merely as a physical form, but as a vessel for hidden histories, raw emotions, and subconscious archetypes.

He approaches painting with impulsive energy, minimizing planning to ensure that his impressions reach the canvas in their purest, most intuitive state. He thrives on the unpredictability of the medium, using liberated expression to explore universal themes of perception, memory, and the fluidity of the real.

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.
