Rembrandt and Sennelier dry pastels, Fabriano Elle Erre bristol, 82 x 54 cm (sheet), framed: 100 x 70 cm, signed p.d.: JGajowiecki

Artist who is particularly fond of dry pastels. He also creates oil works, does printmaking and wood carving, but pastels are his favorite means of expression. He creates works of a mystical-symbolic nature, where each element of the painting has its own symbolism, inscribing itself in the main message of the painting, and created after numerous stays in France, where he tries to convey the beauty, charm and soul of the country's regions he has met.
During his education at Pila High School, he met a well-known Pila visual artist, Krystyna Noska, from whom he took drawing and painting lessons. He then continued his studies in Conservation and Museum Studies at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun.
He has been developing his artistic knowledge and practical skills for many years, thanks to contacts with artists in his home region as well as in France, and his own research, arriving at personal solutions in the use of dry pastels.
He has participated in group and individual exhibitions in his native region and has exhibited works in private galleries in France.
Since 2003, he has been a member of the Association of Artists of the Republic of Poland, and in 2020 he was admitted to the Association of French Pastelists.
