Kamil Lisek

Ich treffe jeden Tag auf Inspirationen für meine Malerei. Dies sind visuelle Reize - Objekte, Menschen, Materie, Szenen, aus denen die einfallsreichsten die Hauptfiguren werden, und andere ergänzen die Komposition. Manchmal warten sie lange auf ihre Verwendung, sie suchen nach Kontext und gegenseitigen Arrangements, dank derer jeder von ihnen in den einfachsten Kompositionen eine Bedeutung hat.

Die Malwerkstatt ist mir besonders wichtig und eine ständige Herausforderung; Ich versuche, die Details der Elemente der Komposition so genau wie möglich wiederzugeben: Körper, Materie, Ornament, damit der Betrachter sie beobachten und schmecken kann. Im Gegensatz zur Arbeit von Fotorealisten sind meine Bilder jedoch nie eine exakte Darstellung der Fotografie, die ich im kreativen Prozess verwende. Was zu einem Bild wird - eine Kombination aus inspirierenden visuellen Elementen - ergibt sich aus dem, was ich dem Betrachter vermitteln möchte. Malen ist nicht meine Reaktion auf äußere Ereignisse oder ein Manifest meiner Weltanschauung, es ist Stille und Kontemplation. Jede Szene ist eine eigene Geschichte; jede von ihnen wurde unter dem Einfluss der visuellen Form des Objekts erfunden und existiert nur in der Welt, die ich auf meine Bilder übertrage.

Kamil Lisek

KAMIL LISEK (born in 1980) Studied under the guidance of prof. Maciej Świeszewski at the faculty of painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk. He graduated with distinction obtaining scholarships from both the Ministry of Culture and the Mayor of the city of Gdańsk. In 2006, he won the fifth edition of the Hestia Artistic Journey competition, as a result of which he spent a month in New York on a scholarship. In 2006 he won the Grand Prix (ex-aequo) of the Franciszka Eibisch Foundation, an organization promoting young painters. From 2015, he was one of over a hundred painters from around the world who worked on the first full-length and Oscar nominated painting animation Film "Loving Vincent". Kamil Lisek's works are in many collections in Poland and abroad. One of the paintings is in the collection of the National Museum in Gdańsk. Painting technique constitutes a huge challenge for Kamil Lisek and is particularly important for him. In his works, the artist tries to capture every detail of the composition as faithfully as possible, so that the viewer could scrutinize them and slowly feast his or her eyes upon attributes of a setting, body, ornament.
