Stanislaw Zoladz, Sweden

Εικόνα
Stanislaw Zoladz, born in Poland in 1952, moved to Sweden after completing his art education at the Art Academy in Krakow in 1978. Since then he has been active as a full-time artist in Sweden.  He’s participating in many international exhibitions over the world. He has been recognised as “master of watercolours “ after years of painting and many prizes in international competitions.  Stanislaw’s words about his art:  "Nature has always been my source of inspiration, it dominates my works. In the summer I paint in the archipelago. I wait for the sun's reflections on wet rocks, catch shadows, reflections in water and paint stones under the water's surface.   My paintings do not provoke, they lack a direct message, they do not depict the present, but they should make the viewer stop and reflect. I only paint when I myself experience something that touches me and that is the feeling I want to pass on to the viewer"
