I am Marcin Wesołowski, a contemporary artist inspired by the rich tradition of iconic art, folklore, and diverse cultural motifs. My work draws from history, mythology, and human narratives, reinterpreted through a modern yet timeless lens. Guided by minimalist principles and a passion for storytelling, I create pieces that invite personal reflection and layered interpretations.
Travel has been a defining force in my creative journey, exposing me to the visual languages of different civilizations, from sacred iconography to folk traditions. While my global perspective embraces artistic influences from around the world, it carries a distinct local flavor from the Carpathian region—an area rich in its own mystical folklore, woodcut traditions, and spiritual imagery.
Much of my work is inspired by religious art, yet I am far from being religious. Instead, I am drawn to the aesthetic, narrative, and symbolic power of sacred imagery, which has shaped human culture for centuries. I reinterpret these themes through a contemporary lens, often blending the spiritual with the surreal.
Alongside my artistic practice, I navigate a career in business and academia, which provides a unique balance between structured logic and boundless creativity.
These experiences enrich my perspective, allowing me to observe the world through both pragmatic and poetic lenses.
Embracing authenticity over materialism, I strive to bridge the past and present, offering narratives that resonate beyond time.
My art is an exploration of the human condition, a visual meditation on belief, history, and imagination—connecting viewers to something larger than themselves.
