Illusiveness and surrealism, Karol Bąk.

Karol Bąk was born in Koło in the Wielkopolska Region, in 1961. He graduated from the Fine Arts High School of Poznań with a degree in Interior Exhibition Arrangement.

In 1984, he was admitted to the Graphics Department of the State College of Art (currently the University of Arts in Poznań). He already knew what direction he wanted to take in his studies - painting, graphics and sculpture were perceived as a prestigious pursuit of "searching for pure art".

He was confident he had made the best choice. He graduated in 1989 with distinction, with two degrees in Graphics, under Prof. Tadeusz Jackowski, and Drawing in the studio of Prof. Jarosław Kozłowski. He received the "Best Graduation Work 1989" Award in Toruń. In the following year, he took part in the 21st exhibition of the graphics and drawings of the year, receiving the Jan Wroniecki medal.

The artist has also produced graphics, ink drawings, pastel portraits, pencil sketches and frescos. His works vary not only in technique, but also in the way they are viewed. Oil painting may well be considered the brightest and most cheerful side of his artistic soul, whereas his drawings and sketches constitute a shadier and more sinister aspect of his art.

Today, Karol Bąk collaborates with several Polish and foreign exhibition halls.
