Acrylic, plywood; 60 x 60 cm

Painter, sculptor, creator of installations, author of several monuments in public space, art theorist and curator of exhibitions, as well as animator of artistic life. Charismatic artist with an unusual biography. He was the organizer of the Biennale of Spatial Forms and founder of EL Gallery in Elblag. He ran the Free Academy of Art, opened the Museum of Modern Art - with a collection with an international profile, bringing together the works of artists of Constructivist origin in Hünfeld. In 1993, he founded the Artists Forum Museum of Concrete Art in Erfurt and the Museum of Reductive Art in Swieradow-Zdroj. His life has been greatly influenced by history. The border between Poland and Germany made him once a German and once a Pole. With his life and activities in the field of art, he challenged the sense of all borders, especially mental ones. He regarded art as a universal form of interpersonal communication. Blum-Kwiatkowski's works remain unique on the art market.
