Robert Konrad, Back to the Roots, 2022

Oil, canvas, 65 x 50 cm

Born in 1970, he graduated from the Faculty of Graphic Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw in Janusz Stanny's Illustration Studio. The artist's work can be admired in painting as well as graphics, Illustration or drawing. His oeuvre includes several hundred works for press or book publishing houses, but also for record publications. Robert's uncommon view of art and talent has been recognized by such publications as Sztandar Młodych, Przyjaciółka, Wprost, Readers Digest, Playboy, Businessman Magazine, Sukces, Rzeczpospolita, Przekrój, Newsweek, Fakt, Bild, UważamRze. In the artist's works, an extremely important role is played by light and space, an aura of mystery and understatement, the unrealness of the scenes and figures depicted. The places he shows are on the border between fantasy and reality, leaving the viewer to complete the story. Most of the drawings are textured thanks to the author's technique of preparing the background. In addition, a frequent motif appearing in his works is the human figure and a portrait full of dynamism and vitality. Expression, bold brushstrokes, colors-all these add freshness to the works and make them unique, unrepeatable, recognizable. His works are in private collections both at home and abroad. He lives and creates in Warsaw.
