Krzysztof Marchlak

In his artistic practice he reaches out to the tradition of oil painting. The main subject of his works are visions of the future, cyclicality of life processes and composition inspired by the human body. The newest works from the “Vanilla Dream” series are characterised by intense colours, abundance of organic forms, wittiness and “baroqueness”.
