About the Artist – Andrzej Maląg

Andrzej Maląg is both a painter and a scientist. His art develops in two directions: oil painting in the style of magical realism and original interference photo-graphics created electronically. Inspirations come from ancient cultures, literature, quantum physics and cosmology.

Artistic Style

His oil paintings explore mythical and symbolic narratives, rooted in magical realism. In his photo-graphic works, Maląg uses laser beam interference photography transmitted through designed apertures. The digital medium becomes a creative tool of our times – just as electronic sound is used in contemporary music.
