bio
Radek

“Photography connects the real world with the universe of emotions. It reconciles the mind with the soul. It allows me to walk the path of continuous development. Per aspera ad Astra (…)”.  – 

Radek holds the international artistic title of Artiste Fédération Internationale de l’Art Photographique (AFIAP) and the title of Artist Photographer (AFRP) and is a full member of the Photoclub of the Republic of Poland.

His photography is universal in nature, although it is clearly dominated by people. His open mind allows him to freely combine many types of this art form, e.g. by creating narrative portraits or nudes that fit into different worlds or dimensions. He tells stories and captures emotions, and sometimes… he is only interested in form. His creativity is reflected in his award-winning projects Abandoned Beauty and Connected with Nature. It is also difficult to remain indifferent to his Portraits and how Radek sees the World. It is worth following his rapidly expanding Portfolio.

He works digitally and analogically, and for some time now, he has been predominantly using the classic photographic film technique. Sometimes he combines modern cameras with old lenses (including, for example, his favourite replica of a 19th-century Petzval lens). He is an enthusiast of natural light, although he sometimes combines many types of light, including infrared.

Radek’s lens captures film and modelling stars, other public figures, and ordinary people who often become… extraordinary. He photographs in nature, castle ruins and factories. Less often, but still occasionally, he works in the studio. He expresses himself mainly in black and white, but does not shy away from the full colour palette. His versatility reflects his open mind and pursuit of creative freedom.

His works are awarded, published and exhibited in Poland and abroad. They can also be found in institutional and private collections and galleries. Collectible editions of Radek’s photographs are officially listed on the Polish and European auction market.

As Zdzisław Beksiński quoted Lennon as saying: ‘you have to convince yourself that you have talent and then believe in it’. Radek, as he himself says, “puts on rose-tinted glasses when he takes photographs. And he convinces himself that what he does may appeal to others, and may even make them stop for a moment.

And if he is wrong, he does it anyway because he is driven by a pure desire to create“. Per aspera ad astra (…) is both his credo and modus vivendi.
