Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

United Kingdom

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.
