Maciek Zieliński studied at The Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow. After graduating with MA degree in Graphic Design he worked for a number of Cracow advertising and interactive agencies as well as for startups. Having worked on commercial, mostly digital projects for over ten years, he realized he missed the satisfaction of creating real artwork.
Eventually he left the advertising world in pursue of his own art projects. He started with intricate ink drawings and then gradually moved towards more abstract and painterly style.

Adam Widelka was born in 1961. He is the Grand Prix winner of the III National Biennale of Pastel in Nowy Sącz. The artist works with pastels and drawing , he also paints on internal and external plasters. External paintings are created on cement-fiber boards with a unique, weather-resistant technique. The artist uses original color technique that blurs the proper photographic lines, in favor of penetrating stains of soft lights. In his paintings we are dealing with such a pain of creation that seems to fade in the twentieth century. In the meantime, what is missing for a long time is the renaissance of beauty.

Ulyana Turchenko. Visual artist, works in the areas of symbolic and fantasy art in original stone lithography technique and painting.

I am an artist living and working in my home studio in Magnolia, Texas.

My “Mottled Horses” – Equine/Western art developed since 2002-3 in my new “Mottled” style that merges abstract and expressionism with a touch of realism. The subject is created on a colorful abstract background to express feelings, often shown as a close-up, with special attention to the eyes and focusing on specific moods. Often with secondary transparent image/s to show movement or specific scenario.

In my paintings, I don’t intend to replicate photo-realistic objects, but to capture the utmost uniqueness of life. Illustrating my subjects, I often pay no attention to exact shapes, textures, or real colors and emphasize just on a small fragment, sometimes a very tiny detail, in order to insinuate an idea. That approach leads me to concentrate on what I feel and not what I see or know about the subject. Also, it helps me to effectively use visuals to depict a story about my subject.  My art captures just an indication of a subject to leave the rest for my viewer’s imagination to create the unique picture.

W dniach od 12 do 25 września 2025 roku zapraszamy na pierwszą w Triadzie
wystawę indywidualną twórczości Moniki Dętkoś.

Urodzona w 1974 roku. Mieszka i tworzy w Sopocie. Jest absolwentką Wydziału Malarstwa i Grafiki ASP w Gdańsku. Dyplom uzyskała w 2001 r. w pracowni prof. Kiejstuta Bereźnickiego. Finalistka konkursu ,,Obraz Roku 2004”. Od 2007 r. członkini Stowarzyszenia Artystycznego Kultywator 3Miejski. W 2009 r. otrzymała wyróżnienie w Międzynarodowym Konkursie Malarskim ,,Obraz przestrzeni publicznej,, oraz nagrodę miasta Rzym – Diploma di Merito we Włoszech. Prezentowała twórczość malarską na Wielkiej Wystawie Malarstwa Współczesnego ,,100+1 Pięknych Obrazów” ,
Galeria DAP, Warszawa, 2011 r. Brała udział w licznych wystawach indywidualnych i zbiorowych w kraju i za granicą.

Jej wrażliwość kształtowała się od dzieciństwa w artystycznej rodzinie – ojca artysty rzeźbiarza i matki artystki malarki.
“Przejawiałam zdolności artystyczne, to był mój wybór. W 1994 ukończyła Liceum Sztuk Plastycznych w Bydgoszczy na wydziale grafiki. Zostałam artystą malarzem gdy ukończyłam Studia na Akademii Sztuk Pięknych w Gdańsku w 2001 roku . Dyplom na wydziale Malarstwa i Grafiki z tytułem magistra sztuki, w pracowni prof. Kiejstuta Bereźnickiego oraz (aneks) w pracowni prof. Czesława Tumielewicza. Badam naturę współczesnego człowieka, jego dążenia alternatywny portret w najróżniejszych odsłonach scen rodzajowych. W takim podejściu ważny jest dla mnie temat, kompozycja, technika i zasada sztuka- leczy i przynosi optymizm. Podkreślam myślowy proces twórczy. Zawsze wokół człowieka. Materializuje efekty socjologicznych eksploracji na swój własny, indywidualny sposób. (tekst Renata Kamionka).
W moich obrazach często zawiera się ,,Obraz w obrazie” przedmiotowość, realizm z tłem abstrakcyjności. Dynamika odważnych kolorów ma wpływ na stosowane przeze mnie techniki malarskie, takie jak np. olej, akryl na płótnie, aerograf, aerozol.
