MICHAŁ MISIAK

Michał Misiak was born in 1973 in Tarnów. He studied at the Faculty of Painting of the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow. In 1999, he defended his diploma with honours in the Painting Studio of Prof. Stanisław Rodziński. 

He is a contemporary artist who uses the language of geometry. Misiak's paintings act as a kind of impulse generating in the viewer a moment of penetration into the sphere of inner feelings and emotions.  In accordance with the Pythagorean philosophy close to him, in some of the cycles in the works he creates, he tries to show the true beauty and harmonies perceptible by the human mind only in symmetrical objects. 

His canvases revolve around the vibrations of dawn and colour extending and intervening into the surrounding reality beyond the pictorial. The out-of-picture structures with a rhythm similar to electromagnetic waves are the result of the visualisation of the invisible reality surrounding the human being, which reveals itself in the painting and then spreads beyond the frame of space remaining present and activated in the viewer's mind. 
As he says, he pays very close attention to the creative process itself, which is meditative for him. 

These technically extremely precise compositions are the result of handwritten work with a pen or rapidograph. For the most part, they are sketches of geometric structures that are later used in paintings.
