dimensions: 70x100cm, acrylic on canvas, 2024
Tomasz Kuran was born in 1972 in Warsaw, Poland. Graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts - Faculty of Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art. Diploma in the Conservation and Restoration of Painting and Polychrome Sculpture Department under the direction of Prof. Joanna Szpor. He also studied painting in the studio of Prof. Rajmund Ziemski - painting annex to the diploma "head study". He is a versatile artist, perfectly comfortable in the field of drawing, painting, collage. The protagonists of his works are usually abstractly motifs or color dynamics. Above all, the most important thing for him is color, the dynamics of the image and the action of spots or textures. To achieve this, he often goes beyond the framework of classical painting by combining different techniques, aiming to make the image as interesting, creative as possible, giving the viewer the opportunity for individual interpretation. His paintings are mainly a tangle of emotions more or less filled with feeling, sometimes a game of unspecified characters captured in the moment. He does not create in one style, which is characteristic of many contemporary artists, but walks along different, very individual paths - a painting is supposed to be interesting, inspiring, moving - hence in his work there are activities such as splashing, gluing, cutting out or scratching. He is an artist whose works are not always easy to accept. His great interest in the Bible and the subject of faith has led him to the tracks of biblical inspiration, where he very interestingly combines the biblical theme with contemporary techniques or the liveliness so characteristic of contemporary painting. His paintings on faith are fantastically inscribed in our daily life and our choices, decisions. This painting is a rare in our Polish art combination of modernity and religious themes, which makes his paintings very interesting, original and making us think and talk.
