Maciej Gador - Poland Print
Painter



When I was young a lot of moments in surrounding reality caught my eye, especially those intimate and private. They were too short to reflect on them and on the other hand too strong to not keep in mind.

My artistic inspirations come from these moments discovering constantly next themes. Creating, distance and closeness, hedonism and humility, everything it is making the image of the man up. It often brings very surprising solutions. This "moment" has been accompanying me for ages in my works. Beginning the adventure with the drawing from normal painting portraits of people, through desire for expressing something more, to the attempt to show the entire complexity of situation - it's my way.
