Pawel PORADA (b. 1985), Sign of Strength, 2023

acrylic, canvas, 80 x 80 cm, signed on the back

Born in 1985 in Rzeszow, Poland. Graduate of the Faculty of Art at the University of Rzeszow, diploma in the studio of Prof. Stanislaw Bialoglowicz. He does easel painting, drawing and printmaking. The main themes of his paintings are portraits, which he juxtaposes with various elements in an ambiguous way. He draws inspiration from observations of people, their behavior, problems, dreams and everyday life. In his works, the artist combines strong patches and definite shapes. In painting I seek simplicity and harmony, as well as individual values. He has participated in many individual and group exhibitions. His works are in private collections both at home and abroad. He currently lives and works in Belgium.
