oil, canvas, 70 x 100 cm, signed p.d.: 'LEW|2017'



In the privacy of his studio, he painted paintings whose subject matter often goes far beyond the limits of the human mind. He poured his visions and feelings, the play of light, space and contrast onto the canvas. The works are full of symbols and thought-provoking details, which each viewer has the opportunity to interpret in his own way - the author, apart from giving a title, has never explained his paintings. In 2017, the artist collaborated with the metal band Bell Witch - for the cover of their album he created a painting titled. "Essence of Freedom." With this he began a new chapter of his work - since then there have been more than thirty covers with Mariusz Lewandowski's paintings. Among the record publishers were such companies as Sony Music Entertainment, 20 Buck Spin, Transcending Obscurity Records. The artist's work has become more widely recognized and appreciated outside his home country, including the United States, Canada, Australia, Brazil and Germany. Lewandowski's works have also become an inspiration for the creator of the legendary and renowned Zero Skateboards brand, Jamie Thomas. In 2021, together they created a limited series of five skateboards, which quickly gained recognition among lovers of the sport.
