Leszek Gaczkowski
Leszek Gaczkowski was born and live's in Silesia, Poland. He received a technical education even though from an early age he exhibited a strong interest in music and arts. He also plays guitars. However he gave up his passion to pursue a different path, and now he's returning to it. He believes that painting or any other form of art is an illustration of his ideas. It expresses his feelings, his natural abilities, and the effort often associated with the joy of creating. His artworks including paintings are owned not only by his natural abilities, for which he is hugely grateful but are also the effect of self-study self-improvement, and most of all hard work! His favorite techniques are pastels, oil paints, and watercolors, but he does not stray from charcoal, sepia, and sanguine as well. Pastels are very delicate tools perfect express elusive details such as facial expressions which have lately become one of his favorite pursuits. He focused on capturing feelings and emotions producing his own original style. Among his artworks, we can find both iconic, well-known faces of those known to everyone and those who belong to anonymous people he has met on his way and who have inspired him. Although he has devoted himself to the art of portraits he has never limited himself to this branch area. As a versatile artist, he was always looking for new challenges and inspirations. That let him discover his great passion to paint landscapes and made him very adept in hard and demanding but careful watercolor techniques. Within his own unique style, many of his artworks tie to those of great impressionists he creates his own, paintings but also reinterprets already existing paintings. He displays his artwork in the best-known art galleries which are associated with many artists in Poland. Some of his paintings are also on procurement. They are now decorated, in houses of private collectors in countries such as England, France, Spain, Germany, Czech Republic, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, Taiwan, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Bahrain, and Poland. This passion for active paintings dates back to 2010. He is very open to suggestions and inspiration and shares his experiences with others willingly.

WELCOME TO THE REPUBLIC OF MONTMARTRE
Founded on 7th May 1921, on the initiative of the most famous artists in Montmartre, painters and draftsmen alike, the Republic of Montmartre has since continued its charitable and cultural actions. In the spirit shown by Poulbot, Willette, Forain, Neumont and Joë Bridge, and thanks to the voluntary commitment of its members, citizens, members of parliament, consuls, ambassadors and ministers, it works in aid of disadvantaged children as well as bringing together visual artists, writers and musicians. Custodian of the Montmartre tradition, its members distinguish themselves by wearing a red scarf, black cape and hat, the famous outfit of Aristide Bruant, immortalised by Toulouse-Lautrec. Clinging to the slopes of its village, this beautiful and great institution ensures that the rebellious yet human spirit on which the legend of Montmartre is built is preserved, while remaining loyal to its motto: Rejoice in doing good !

The Eagles' Nests castles (Polish: Orle Gniazda), many of which survived only in the form of picturesque ruins, are perched high on the tallest rocks between Częstochowa and the former Polish capital Kraków. The castles were built to protect Kraków as well as important trading routes against the foreign invaders. Later, the castles passed on into the hands of various Polish aristocratic families.

Biography
Leszek Gaczkowski was born and live's in Silesia, Poland. He received a technical education even though from an early age he exhibited a strong interest in music and arts. He also plays guitars. However he gave up his passion to pursue a different path, and now he's returning to it. He believes that painting or any other form of art is an illustration of his ideas. It expresses his feelings, his natural abilities, and the effort often associated with the joy of creating. His artworks including paintings are owned not only by his natural abilities, for which he is hugely grateful but are also the effect of self-study self-improvement, and most of all hard work! His favorite techniques are pastels, oil paints, and watercolors, but he does not stray from charcoal, sepia, and sanguine as well. Pastels are very delicate tools perfect express elusive details such as facial expressions which have lately become one of his favorite pursuits. He focused on capturing feelings and emotions producing his own original style. Among his artworks, we can find both iconic, well-known faces of those known to everyone and those who belong to anonymous people he has met on his way and who have inspired him. Although he has devoted himself to the art of portraits he has never limited himself to this branch area. As a versatile artist, he was always looking for new challenges and inspirations. That let him discover his great passion to paint landscapes and made him very adept in hard and demanding but careful watercolor techniques. Within his own unique style, many of his artworks tie to those of great impressionists he creates his own, paintings but also reinterprets already existing paintings. He displays his artwork in the best-known art galleries which are associated with many artists in Poland. Some of his paintings are also on procurement. They are now decorated, in houses of private collectors in countries such as England, France, Spain, Germany, Czech Republic, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, Taiwan, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Bahrain, and Poland. This passion for active paintings dates back to 2010. He is very open to suggestions and inspiration and shares his experiences with others willingly.
