Serce Człowieka
Krzysztof Grzybacz (1993) Lives and works in Krakow, Poland. His paintings combine intimacy and extraordinariness, evoking the impression of glow and peacefulness. They seem to depict excerpts from longer stories or scenes from the unusual life of objects. In his practice, he occasionally combines painting with objects or other techniques. He has graduated from Prof. Andrzej Bednarczyk’s studio at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. He has participated in individual and collective exhibitions, including: Hyperbole, Nicola Pedana Gallery, Italy; We paint what ghosts and angels tell us to (in duet with Zuzanna Bartoszek, Serce Człowieka, Warsaw Gallery Weekend 2020); Exhibition for Your Apartment (Dawid Radziszewski Gallery); 44th Painting Biennale Bielska Jesień 2019.

"On a large cake platter there are star-shaped chocolates. They’ve reduced their volume a little bit. I think they evaporated and were eaten together with oxygen. I like to imagine that the usual situations I see every day are part of something bigger. Some kind of set design for a series or a documentary. Scorching dishes, cosmetic on a sticker, pasta for a friend, a dog with a warm look. I imagine the best shots with them. I write, draw, fold my canvases, paint I connect with people I love or fear. I combine them with other scenes, or I make up dialogues. In fact, my dream is to make films. For now, I’m painting pictures, but one day I’m going to record them." - Krzysztof Grzybacz
