Stan Bigda
Making art and sharing it with others is life's ultimate fulfilment.
I was born in Poland. I was awarded MA Fine Art degree in painting by the Academy of Fine Art in Krakow in 1992. I was a prize winner at Confrontations of young artists of Southern Poland. I was awarded Postgraduate degree in Art and Design in Education by the University of London's Institute of Education in 1997.
My art had been exhibited in Poland, Greece, France and UK. Many of my artworks decorate apartments and private collections in the USA, the UK, Poland, Greece, Spain, Italy and many other countries. Apart from painting I have also produced illustrations to several published books of poems. My drawings have been published in UK national newspaper "The Mail on Sunday".
My artistic credo is to create something that is good and unique. I'm not looking for originality at all costs, but rather to create tensions and emotions in common, everyday themes. When I look at my painting after a few hours of work, there is no place for anxiety and worry in my psyche.
In 2018, the city of Sanary-sur-mer selected one of my paintings for their annual Hanging Art exhibition.
In February 2022, the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage awarded me with a prize for creative achievements. Currently, I share my time working between UK and Poland.
I my case, making art and sharing one's experiences with others is life's ultimate fulfilment.

Complimenti

J'aime beaucoup ces contrastes, notamment entre le net et le flou.
Un choix de sujets très diversifié , une bonne composition soutenue par une palette de couleurs complémentaires qui ¿.donnent de la force à vos oeuvres ; j'allais oublier le graphisme que vous savez utiliser avec une grande dextérité et l'on présage derrière cette technique de nombreuses années d'un travail assidu .

Merci beaucoup!
Belle galerie de peintures . . . Superbe !!
Merci pour ton commentaire et à mon tour d'être heureux à la découverte de tes galeries...
Your work is tonally progressive, Mr. Bigda. I see you are greatly influenced by Delacroix. After the masters; although, I must say, you have the talent to be stunningly innovative; to shake things up in the art world. Cheerio!
Your works are wonderful Stan :) Congratulation !
J'aime beaucoup "Not just a pretty face",c'est ce que j'ai essayé de faire avec "w".
Fine artworks ! Congratulations...
I like your work, with its large diversity. Beautiful
le tableau que j'ai en cours me cause beaucoup de problèmes.S'il réussit (à mes yeux),je l'appellerai "pingo ergo sum."
Merci de vos compliments,je partage votre philosophie:"pingo ergo sum"
Talent et humour,c'est peu fréquent,j'aime!
