Michal Janowski was born in 1984, he is a Polish painter who migrated to England in 2004. Janowski in many of his artworks likes to explore the use of mediums within his work using things like Ink, coffee, spray paint, gesso , charcoal and acrylic. His paintings are mainly portraits or figure paintings,but he likes to blend both the conscious and the unconscious mind so his portraits are realistic with a blend of Janowski’s own personal imagination. He starts with a life drawing or photograph and then develops it in photoshop and then from there he creates his paintings by starting with a charcoal drawing and working into it with acrylic. Janowski takes inspiration from historical post war figurative artists such as Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon and was inspired by their idea of bringing people closer to ‘the actual experience of a being’ so the inner thoughts, feelings, experiences and past of a being and what it is to be alive, he wanted to portray his own interpretation in his paintings. Janowski received a Graduate Certificate in the Visual arts from the University of East Anglia in 2009.

I also like his use of mixed media to create a variety of textures to create a sense of realism within his pieces. |
