Grzegorz Siembida (Nisko/PL 1984), studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow and worked as a gallery owner after completing his studies. His works are composed of different layers: The first level, which is very important for Siembida, is the emotional one, on which purely painterly elements play a decisive role, whereby he begins his work without any concrete guidelines. The focus here is on color, texture and the dynamics of the paint application on the canvas. Another important level is the dialog with art history, pop culture and mass culture. There are numerous art historical references in his works, which are intended to stimulate the viewer and open up a discourse, as Siembida's works always operate within a dualistic spectrum: they juxtapose opposites, create new combinations and generate tensions. They are collages of experiences and things that are transformed into his very individual artistic language. Grzegorz Siembida received a recognition prize of the STRABAG Artaward International in 2023.
