Artist
Piotr Janas
Born in Warsaw, 1970 and lives in Warsaw, Poland
Janas studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, under Prof. Jerzy Tchórzewski. He is associated with the Warsaw-based Foksal Gallery Foundation, the Bortolami Gallery in New York, and Galerie Giti Nourbakhsch in Berlin. He lives and works in Warsaw.
Janas’s painting is often described as representing the “traditional approach.” Art critics point to the classical link between his work and the surrealist current, at the same time highlighting the influence of his master – Jerzy Tchórzewski.
