Piotr KołAkowski

"Sometimes I long so much to do landscape, just as one would go for a long walk to refresh oneself, and in all of nature, in trees for instance, I see expression and a soul."

Piotr is making paintings with a deep respect for nature and taking comfort and solace in his connection to it. These paintings are a deep expression of his reverence for the landscape and its healing powers, and an honoring and celebration of nature. And this feels supremely important.

His paintings have a great clarity of colour and focus on landscape features. Inspiration for this work comes from his many walks in the nature.
