Kijak and Polisiak Gallery

Kijak&Polisiak Gallery from Warsaw, Poland, proudly presents two internationally recognized fine artists: Zofia Kijak and Pawel Polisiak. Their paintings being shown in Miami in cooperation with Art Fusion Gallery are oils on canvas.

Zofia Kijak is a painter, architect and photographer with academic degrees from the Faculty of Architecture at the Warsaw University of Technology and from the Faculty of Painting at the renowned Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow and many exhibitions throughout Poland. Her paintings have resulted from many years of en plein air work in Australia, South Pacific and Mediterranean. There are landscapes, seascapes, garden themes, portraits and still lifes.

Zofia Kijak’s fascination with color characterizes all her works. The artist is using vivid hues, works are filled with light and radiate with happiness. The author’s aim was to bring to the spectator positive emotions and encourage optimistic view of the world. A passion for intense colors results from inspiration with impressionism and travelling to the countries full of sunshine, colorful buildings and fairy-tale lush vegetation.

Pawel Polisiak who has graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz, has more than 25 years of experience as a painter and a graphic designer. His artistic motto is: 'paint faster than you think'. His art is based on color and expression for which inspiration has been sought from nature. Consequently, a great part of his body of work originates from en plein air work in Israel, Greece and from Egypt's coral reef.

Pawel Polisiak has had many exhibitions throughout Europe, but also in the United States, e.g.:
'The Expressive Struggle' - Everson Museum of Modern Art, N.Y., 1989;
