Rafal Kapica, triptych of Lights

oil on canvas, 95 x 195 cm (1 part 95 x 65 cm)

Artist born in Pyskowice. Graduate of the Faculty of Graphic Arts and Media Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw. He earned his diploma in the studio of Eugeniusz Get-Stankiewicz. He is one of the multidimensional artists, not limiting himself to one subject. His paintings, diverse in content and form, show original color and technique. All his paintings are united by an attempt to capture light, close time or movement, experience space. Characteristic features of his work are pulsating and flickering colors, distinctive texture, color applied in dots and spots, contrasts of complementary colors and glazing. Sometimes symbolic and pictographic drawing is visible on the canvas, most often achieved in relief. The artist consistently creates in the traditional technique of oil painting on canvas. The form of his work shows alternating influences of op-art, impressionism and expressionism. The content of Kapica's paintings is symbolism in the broadest sense, more or less balancing on the borderline of abstraction.
