Drawing plus combined technique 20 x 25 cm, fast, frame
Waldemar Bizoń comes from Andrychów. He started drawing as a child, observing the faces of his classmates. Today he has about 2,000 portraits made in pencil, pastels, watercolor and oil on canvas. He drew realistically, inspired by the works of academics, but also found himself in impressionism and cubism, and even in abstraction. In his search for form over the past ten years, he visited Europe's most famous museums, including the Louvre, the Prado, the Hermitage and the museums of Amsterdam. There, he has spent hours observing works of art, especially those of the masters of the Renaissance: the way the line is guided, the contrasts of colors, the arrangement of light on the faces of the figures portrayed by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo or van Gogh. Direct contact with the masterpieces of European drawing and painting proved to be the best school for Waldemar Bizon. His works can be found at home and abroad, including Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany and the Vatican. He is most interested in the line and character of the person being portrayed. He has done the most portraits of children, as they are the most spontaneous and candid. He recently presented an exhibition of such portraits at the MDK gallery in his hometown of Andrychow. He mostly portrays ordinary people. He made an exception for Pope John Paul II. The artist has made many of his portraits of the Holy Father.
