MIREK ZAŁĘSKI

Born in 1961 in Warsaw. Graduated from the Faculty of Graphic Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. Mainly interested in graphics (drypoint, mezzotint), drawing and painting. Displayed at the many exhibitions in Poland and international competitions (for example: Small Graphic Forms in Łódź, Triennale of the Polish Graphics in Katowice). Drawings and prints are held in private collections in Poland, USA, Canada, Italy and Germany.

He finds inspiration in music: baroque music, progressive rock from the 70s and blues. His works are like mazes - difficult to enter and even harder to get out of. Trying to express what is unknowable, mysterious, inaccessible to the senses. He likes to improvise. Paul Klee once said: “The line is a dot that went for a walk”. His “walk” has been continuing from the age of six.
