Michal Lukasiewicz, 1974 | Pop portrait painter

Michal Lukasiewicz was born in Pulawy, Poland and since 1995 lives and work in Antwerp, Belgium.

"My paintings are of the human form, the soft tenderness that it can transfer to the viewer; never the anger of the world but the peace and harmony that humans are capable of.

I have been influenced by living in Belgium and painters of the Benelux countries and I try to show the placid side of the subject using light, the reflection of light and the shadows to emphasise the subjects form and curves".

"I never use colour but the subtleness of tone to achieve these effects. I try to achieve the smoothness of skin and the body so no brush strokes are visible to the viewer.

I have developed this technique for painting the human body and have works in many collections".

Michal Lukasiewicz è nato a Pulawy, in Polonia e dal 1995 vive e lavora ad Anversa, in Belgio. I suoi soggetti hanno una natura misteriosamente tranquilla che ricorda figure famose in arte come "Mona Lisa" di Leonardo, o "La ragazza con l'orecchino di perla🎨" di Vermeer🎨.

Lukasiewicz ritrae i suoi soggetti con la calda sensualità dell'Alto Rinascimento, combinato con la vivacità della Pop art.
