Artist : Tomasz Kowal

Born in Poland in 1978, Tomasz Kowal is a painter, photographer and graphic artist. As a youngster he began drawing in school notebooks, realizing his calling once the drawings in the back far outnumbered the class notes written at the front. He received a degree in Artistic Education from the University of Silesia—Cieszyn as well as graduating from Malopolska People’s University in Wzdowie and Mining Technical School in Sosnowiec. His style ranges from steampunk-influenced drawings straight from the world of Roland Topor, Jules Verne, and the films of Jean-Pierre Jeunet to classically inspired painting. He creates luminous landscapes, portraits, and mesmerizing Tolkienesque map worlds. Tomasz also creates logo designs and weaves wicker.
