Michal Ostaniewicz - Architect by profession. Studied at the faculties of architecture of Poznan University of Technology and Warsaw University of Technology. By profession an illustrator, draftsman, designer of publications and exhibitions, designer of industrial forms, residential and public interiors. He began his professional practice while he was still studying architecture, and after graduating, he worked for many years at the Experimental Plant of the Polish Academy of Sciences as a designer of scientific apparatus design, graphics and exhibition space and publishing graphics. In 1997, he founded his own company - an author's design studio for interior design, industrial forms and graphic publications. During the entire period of his professional activity, he made sketches, drawings and paintings depicting the details of the designed design forms, which are characteristic of his work. His fascination with detail and ornamentation, as well as his extraordinary precision in geometric drawing, was revealed in the series of works on paper "My Wind Roses", which he has been creating for more than 10 years. Michal Ostaniewicz's painting is a kind of contestation of naturalistic architectural drawing, chiaroscuro, plans and perspective painting. In his paintings, despite the use of simplification and flattening of individual elements of the composition, operating with a flat spot, the author subtly weaves his favorite ornamentation into the background, which makes them extremely decorative and colorful.
