PAWEL DUTKIEWICZ
One of Poland’s most innovative abstract painters, Pawel Dutkiewicz’s paintings and installations explore themes of meditation and purity through landscapes of subtle cascading colors. Influenced by such artists as Mark Rothko and Barnet Newman, Dutkiewicz’s work establishes a spiritual relationship with the viewer, evoking feelings of enlightenment and self-awareness. Dutkiewicz lives and works in Krakow, Poland, where he teaches at the legendary Krakow Academy of Fine Art. Dutkiewicz’s work is featured in many distinguished collections both in Europe and America, and will also be featured in a solo exhibit at the National Museum of Art in Krakow, Poland in 2011.
