Tadeusz Gustaw WIKTOR, Transcendent I-3

oil, canvas, 100 x 110 cm, 2010, dedicated to Alicja Wiktor, signed on the back: T.G.WIKTOR, author's description on the stretcher.

Studied painting and printmaking at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, graduated under Adam Marczyński in 1974. After graduation, he continued his experiments with the language of geometry, while in the early 1980s he began his teaching work, which continues to this day. He has gained recognition primarily as a painter and printmaker. However, an important aspect of his work is also his activity as a critic and art theorist. Reflections on the nature of art pushed him to study the texts of philosophers of the Christian tradition and the Far East, and the treatises of Carl Gustav Jung. These reflections were then reflected in his work, filled with metaphysical content and transcendent references.
