Paweł Sobczak
Paweł Sobczak 2024

Paweł Sobczak (born 1997) - graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice with a distinction, and from the UPV Faculty of Belles Arts de Sant Carles in Valencia. An artist developing his practice in the field of visual arts. He has presented his works at solo exhibitions at the Kronika Center for Contemporary Art in Bytom, the BWA Gallery of Contemporary Art in Katowice, and independent galleries such as the Hidden Gallery in Prague. His work is regularly showcased at group exhibitions, including at the Musée Royal de Mariemont in Belgium, the Pola Magnetyczne Gallery in Warsaw, and the Utazu Art Award Biennale in Japan.

The main theme in his paintings is the exploration of human identity. The artist uses portraiture to create an anonymous figure, enabling him to explore the complexity of human nature. By employing symbols and metaphors, he engages in a dialogue with the unconscious, prompting the viewer to ask questions and seek answers within themselves. He sees his creative process as an artistic introspection of himself, his environment, and their mutual coexistence. The portrait depicted by the artist becomes transparent over time, due to the shift in focus from the artist's self-analysis to an analysis of the surrounding environment related to his origins, family, religion, and sexual orientation.

By participating in social projects and collaborating with non-governmental organizations, he seeks inspiration in diverse environments, recognizing their presence in the world as an integral part of social fabric.
