About The Artist

 

Grzegorz Kovalewski (b. 1988, Poland) is an independent painter whose work straddles the line between expressionism and neo-expressionism. Based in Poland, he creates emotionally charged, visually intense paintings filled with shadowy figures and surreal, dreamlike settings. His canvases pulse with instinctive brushwork, jarring color clashes, and a raw energy that feels both chaotic and deliberate.

Kovalewski’s art resists comfort. It resists beauty for beauty’s sake. His figures—distorted, fragmented, hollow-eyed—hover between states of transformation, caught in moments of inner rupture. The work doesn’t explain; it confronts. Viewers are thrown into turbulent emotional terrain where meaning is felt before it is understood.

Recurring motifs—grotesque anatomy, hybrid beings, defaced saints—tap into a dark subconscious. His aesthetic draws on post-punk rawness, Eastern European mysticism, and psychological surrealism, yet his voice remains fiercely his own: untamed, honest, and defiantly personal.

These paintings aren’t images. They’re presences. They don’t sit quietly—they stare back. They demand vulnerability. They linger.
