Jakub Ciężki was born in 1979 in Lublin, Poland. He graduated from the Faculty of Arts at the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, in 2003; He was granted an honors degree in the painting atelier of Prof. Jacek Wojciechowski.[1] Ciężki is a painter fascinated with street furniture along with realistic abstractions. He is attracted by the industrial landscape. [2]
Jakub Ciężki explains his works:
“My paintings are a reflection of reality. My abstract ideas come from the natural things that surround me and are represented in a realistic manner, in contrast to the monochromatic flat background. The architectural compositions create a kind of tension between realism and abstraction, my paintings reflect what interests me most in art: material and construction”.[3]
