Paweł Sobczak
Paweł Sobczak
Paweł Sobczak was born in 1997. He is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice and UPV in Valencia. The artist creates art in the style of fatal romanticism, addressing topics related to spirituality, transience, sexuality and sensitivity. Using the language of symbols and metaphors, he engages in an inner dialogue with the unconscious, to receive answers to his unknowns in the form of finished works. His work does not provide unambiguous answers to the questions posed, they are a collection of post-surrealist visions connected by the theory of dreams according to Carl Gustav Jung.

The artist takes on a role similar to the Oracle of Delphi in the temple of Apollo. In response to the burning questions, artifacts in the form of paintings and objects are created. Often in Sobczak's paintings an auto-portrait appears, which is a hybrid representation of the ghosts of the artist's past and themes of monkeys, dogs, cats and sea creatures. The paintings are accompanied by installations that create a cohesive whole of the artist's utopia.
Each work has a leitmotif - a symbolic dimension of the artist's emotional state.
