Lech JAKUBIAK

b. 1932 Krosniewice

In 1958 he graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at the Gdansk University of Technology. Since 1964 he has been a member of the Association of Polish Artists. Since then he has devoted himself to art. He has had many individual and group exhibitions at home and abroad, including in 1964 at the Kassel Galery in London, in 1968 he participated in the exhibition of the International Painting Plein-Air, Reichenau in Austria and in 2002 he presented his works at an individual exhibition at the International Book Fair in Warsaw. In 2010, he had a solo exhibition in Krosniewice. In his work he depicts a world transformed from reality, where shapes, colors take on a specific form, depending on the subjective experience of the artist. The artist uses various oil techniques. Among them, impasto, a colored stain over which he seemingly has no control. By directing a trickle of paint in the right direction, he creates fantastic, seemingly unexpected, forms.

Together with Joanna Chmielewska, he worked in the 1960s in a design office. It was there that the writer made him the main character of her famous novel "Lesio."
