Biography | |
Andreas Zielenkiewicz was born in Zielona Gora (Poland) in 1955, and grew up in Bydgoszcz. Attended UMK University in Torun, from where he graduated with arts degree in 1980.
After just a few years Andreas Zielenkiewicz became one of the most recognizable figures on the arts scene in Poland. He had many exhibitions in several areas - basically in Germany,Sweden and
Spain ( "Obra Cultural" - Main Prize - XI,XII Marathon, Madrid)
Andreas Zielenkiewiczs works are inspirational - about achieving harmony to obtain your goals. In the early days Andreas Zielenkiewicz painted in the traditional style of the romantic period of the 19th century. His favoured motive was stilllifes and landscapes, but he was not satisfied. He wanted to look behind the subjects. His studies and exhibitions in the foreign european countries gave him this occasion.
He himself decided for a new, unknown world. The antithesis of two different worlds East and west- changes his artistical views. From now on he works with clearly colours, elementary forms, lines and ornaments. He also works up ethnological symbols, old letters, calligraphies and discovers new letters.
His pictures show the spiritual power and the expression of ideas. The paintings can be seen in many european galleries and private collections.
At the moment his work is exhibited extensively in the United States as well as several European galleries and in his home country of Poland in Gdansk and Bydgoszcz.
Artist's statement:
'My work is intuitive, automatic and experimental. It is a process of attempting to forget everything I know in order to discover or invent. . The layering of color and image, erasing, recreating - gives a sense of history - present and past - to the work. I have a sensual connection with the materials and images I choose' |
