Pinocchio (2021) Painting by Krzysztof Lozowski

KRZYSZTOF SYLWESTER ŁOZOWSKI was born in 1970 in Sosnowiec, currently lives in Warsaw. After graduating from the State High School of Fine Arts in Katowice, he studied film animation at the Post-Secondary Artistic College in Bielsko-Biała. He is also a graduate of art at the Teacher Training College in Katowice. He began his studies in painting and drawing in 1993 at the Faculty of Arts at the Institute of Art of the University of Silesia, from which he graduated with a diploma in 1998.

He practices oil painting, drawing, watercolour and posters. The artist's oeuvre also includes excellent caricatures of people from the world of theatre, music, politics and cabaret. He is the author of many individual and collective exhibitions in Poland and abroad. In addition, his works are in private collections, including in Germany, Great Britain, Switzerland, Norway, Belgium, Austria, France, Greece, the United States and Japan. Since 2004, he has been a member of the Association of Polish Artists.

According to art critics, Łozowski's work is expressive. He uses many rich techniques and various views on the surrounding world, from existential and dark - to humorous caricature. He himself claims that "My art is me, my silence in solitude (…) allowing me to exist, hear the inaudible, see the invisible... It is an eternal attempt to answer the question - who am I? An endless cycle of paintings with many titles, which delicately, and sometimes boldly, touch our conscience, our truth about ourselves. But the closer we get to ourselves, to our self - the harder it is... The painting becomes a joy, where time does not exist, where reality blurs with dreams."

An important determinant and at the same time a distinguishing feature of Krzysztof Łozowski's painting is the series of paintings "Fairy tales for adults"
These works are based on sketches, drawings, watercolours and graphics from recent years, as well as themes returning from childhood. Wit and fun are intertwined with sadness and nostalgia, inviting the adult viewer to enter the world of fairy tales... to talk, ask questions and sometimes even surprising comments... Łozowski's work is above all a picture, where everyone can discover their own truth, both the one hidden in the depths of the human subconscious, and the one full of promise...
