EDWARD DWURNIK (born in 1943, d. 2018)
Painter, illustrator, graphic artist. In 1963-70 he studied painting, graphic arts and sculpture at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts. In 1965, independently of his course of studies, he began his drawings and watercolour series. The year 1966 marks the birth of his “Hitch-hiking” (Podróże autostopem) series, distinctive birds eye view cityscapes. Dwurnik created many cycles of paintings – for example “Sportsmen”/“Sportowcy” (1972-1978).
Apart from painting Dwurnik pursued and practiced drawing and graphic arts creating independent series as well as illustrations. The artist enjoyed designing monumental painted compositions which transforme the public space.

His works are to be found in private and public collections around the world.
