Biography
Studied at the High School of Fine Arts in Warsaw in 1956-61, and then studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw in 1961-66. In September 1966, he arrived in France to continue his studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He lives and works in Paris. He is considered one of the leading representatives of fantasy realism (like M. C. Escher, M. Klinger, L. Fini and others). He calls himself a fantasy hyperrealist, emphasizing his originality. Fantastic realism, combining surreal vision with naturalistic art, has its roots in Surrealism represented by Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, Paul Delvaux. SIUDMAKA shares with Dali a virtuosity in rendering the three-dimensional illusion of space, a sense of light and shadow, linear and aerial perspectives. To these traditional means of expression SIUDMAK adds purely realistic and very personal elements, where technical perfection is at the service of an original and lush imagination.
