Collection: Lewandowski Janusz

Janusz Lewandowski, painter, was born in 1937 in Rokic and died in 2022 in Warsaw. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, at the Department of Painting under Artur Nacht-Samborski, graduating in 1964. During his career, he was actively involved in artistic life, participating in numerous workshops and symposia.

In his work, Lewandowski integrated human figures into the Mazovian landscape, a central element of his art. These figures emerge naturally from the ground, becoming an extension of the environment or an inseparable part of the landscape. His paintings are also imbued with motifs from Romantic literature and feature symbolic figures and animals.

He himself describes his art as follows: "I was born in the Mazovian region just before dusk. In a land that is intense in its subjectivity. This is enough to preserve its existence in a certain range of spirituality. I am integrated into a certain system of unity, in a certain harmony." Lewandowski sees his work as an act of safeguarding the values ​​acquired during his childhood, tinged with fear and melancholy.
