oil, panel, 60 x 60 cm, signed on the reverse: 'Maciej Gabruś 2023'



Graduated with a diploma in the studio of Dr. Marek Przybyl at the Magdalena Abakanowicz University of Arts in Poznań, but later dropped out to be able to better focus on his art. He creates mainly in solitude and peace. He has always regarded art as a kind of sublimation of the intricate emotions of his inner life and a great language far beyond what can be expressed in words. His paintings are always born through needs, the main purpose of which is to make himself visible and self-recorded. For him, creation is a kind of intricate contemplation, in which the process itself seems to be the most important. He finds the process extremely passionate and practical, as it serves him as a digestion and discharge of personal overloads. The most common objects of his struggle are his attempts to understand transcendence, loneliness and melancholy.
