Zdzislaw Majrowski - Constantin Meyro.
Outstanding representative of Polish contemporary art. European painter of the middle generation. A brilliant follower of Paul Cezanne (Russian Constructivists and Franz Kokoschka). He is an example of consistency and iron discipline in painting, and at the same time total freedom and irrepressible element.
He is an artist whose work is a continuation of the works of masters such as Frans Hals, Diego Velasquez and Manet. Tremendous diligence and a masterfully mastered workshop emphatically define the artist's achievements. His uncompromisingness and perfectionism are the main components of his exceptional painting.
He was born on May 29, 1952. Hard work and talent, at an early age, drew the attention of educators and opened the door to the art world for him. At the age of 14 he created his first pastiches of 17th century Dutch masters. Fully mature, painted
in a masterful way, full of depth and poetry. He studied painting in the studio of Prof. Jan Lis.
He received his diploma from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw in 1979 at the Interior Design Department.
In 1981, the first major exhibition in Zdzislaw Majrowski's life took place,
which took place in Munich (pastiches of 17th century painting, Dutch school).
His journey in search of his own forms of expression and himself in painting began in earnest in the mid-1980s. Throughout the years, he painted large series of figurative paintings to perfection. He went through almost all stages of modern painting before creating his own unique style. From flat monochromatic compositions to contrasting impastos and reliefs. He moved from classical drawing
to deformation up to constructivism. Majrowski is constantly developing and refining his style.
Zdzislaw Majrowski's paintings are in many contemporary art galleries and private collections in Europe, America and Japan. He is the only Polish artist recommended by the English business monthly "Funds Europe". His work is an excellent investment not only for seasoned connoisseurs.
A cross-section of the work of this internationally recognized artist, reveals emotional abstractions
in the various techniques and trends he has taken over the 50 years of his artistic career.
Visible to the naked eye, we can classify the changes that occurred in his individual form of artistic expression into several periods and styles. From the early,
flat and irregular forms that appear haphazard, through strongly constructivist, bold shapes to dynamic, spatial and expressive artworks.
Thanks to a special painting technique and the use of a thick layer of paint with stronger, contrasting hues, the foreground element of the painting acquires an incredible depth,
From which it is hard to take your eyes off. The frequent empty spaces leave the viewer with a lot of
to be told by his own imagination, undoubtedly stirred by the fever of colors and shapes,
which make these unusual paintings so often found in private collections around the world. The uniqueness of the abstractions of this extremely talented artist lies in,
not only in the surprising technique and harmonious composition, but also in the broad interpretation of the work left to the viewer.
