Dariusz PALA

b. 1967 Czestochowa

In 1992 he graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow. Diploma in the atelier of Prof. Roman Żygulski. Has exhibited in many renowned galleries of Poland and Germany. His paintings usually depict human marionettes acting out scenes in cafes, on the street or in the theater. He also paints still lifes, full of intense colors. Color and light have preoccupied the artist much more intensely since his departure to the US, where he remains to this day. The motif is a pretext for "building form with color." The experience of traditional colorism, which he encountered during his studies in Cracow, he quickly transformed into his own language of painterly expression. He moved from complex stylized line drawing and elaborate plot to synthetic depiction of single objects. The strength of these paintings lies in color, whose luminosity is enhanced by the rich texture of thickly laid paint.
