Michał Nowak

Born in 1980 in Rzeszów, Poland

Painting is a means for me to rediscover reality; an attempt to uncover the secret inside everyday occurrences not habitually identified with beauty. I am fascinated by the juxtaposition of individuals with the industrial world and the functioning of people within the mechanisms and systems of contemporary civilization
