Tom Ulecki

"There are questions to answers we don't have and may not ever find. I take comfort in the belief that we may truly never understand this reality. It's that middle existence of knowing some, but not all, that fascinates me. The space between hubris and humility. That realm in between is where my art seeks to reside in. Truly, the process sometimes feels closer to mining than painting. Regardless of the tool used, it's excavating that idea that matters the most to me. Sometimes those ideas are profound and insightful, and sometimes they're comparable to shiny pretty rocks. Ultimately though, they can each serve their purpose, as I hope, my art can too."

Tom is currently based out of his studio in Vancouver, Canada. There he focuses on painting with acrylics, but also has a passion for digital art and indoor gardening. He was born in Warsaw, Poland. Before moving to Vancouver, Tom spent a great portion of his life growing up in Toronto, Canada. A place that has shaped him greatly and one he holds close to his heart.
