What advice do you have for other artists who are emerging into this industry? Often I am asked to conduct lectures and workshops for young artists. I always repeat the truth that I learned many years ago: Every line you draw brings you closer to mastering whatever you are doing. Another important thing is that in order to be a real artist, you must be a great craftsman as well. I think that if you can draw, the medium is unimportant. The ability to draw is the foundation. The last important thing that I always want to tell young artists is that they should analyse their message. This is going to be the foundation of the power of their art. Will it be another interpretation of familiar biblical scenes painted by previous generations? Will they take on modern issues, reflecting the spirit of their times? This is very important but also very difficult. You need to be really mature to know what you want to tell the world and to tell it in such a way that the world listens. Where can potential buyers and fans purchase your work? You will be able to see my paintings live this summer at three exhibitions accompanying Polish science fiction and fantasy festivals: Festival in Nidzica, Polcon in Wrocław and Twierdza, in Giżycko. You can find the details on my website, on social media, in newsletters and on the websites of the festival organisers. Apart from that you can see my paintings online, on my site and on the site of the foundation that I work with (Your Heritage Foundation). Below are several galleries in Poland and Europe where I cooperate, display and sell my paintings: Gallery: Tadeo Art http://tadeo-art.pl/ Gallery: Touch of Art http://www.touchofart.eu/ Gallery: Decostyle: www.decostyle.dk Gallery: KoneserSztuki http://www.konesersztuki.pl/ Page 10 Is there anything else that you’d like to tell us?
