Adam Kozik - painter, architect. He was born in 1972 in Cracow. From 1993 to 1998 he studied at the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning of the Cracow University of Technology. In 1998 he graduated from the Faculty of Design of Public Utility Facilities. Adam Kozik has gained a reputation as an architect: his projects sometimes surprise with unconventional and original ideas, but the buildings he designed are invariably functional and user-friendly. The influence of architecture is also evident in Kozik's paintings, especially in the creative process and the way he constructs his compositions. At the same time, he makes bold use of color, which becomes a structural element. Adam Kozik's paintings are full of dynamism, energy and joie de vivre: the artist takes up subjects that fascinate him, such as fashion, cars, polo. At the same time, he does not hesitate to experiment with form, so that the depicted motif sometimes becomes difficult to recognize, disappearing among the harmonies and color contrasts. Adam Kozik is also an active organizer of artistic life, founder and owner of Off Frame Gallery, located in the heart of Krakow.
