Hello, I'm Janusz T.

My name is Janusz Tworek​,​ I live in Krakow​,​ Poland and Tenerife. I have been an architect for almost 40 years. Like everyone who works in this profession​,​ I am suspended between artistic sensitivity and engineering precision of thinking. In addition to drawing and painting​,​ I made attempts in the field of ceramics and stained glass. I also work with photography for most of my life. The unique atmosphere of Tenerife​,​ the openness of the local population promotes self-development and work on themselves. I am a self-taught painting. The awareness that one of the most outstanding contemporary painters​,​ Francis Bacon​,​ was also a self-taught person​,​ gives me strength to work and artistic development. I am looking all the time​,​ that's why I try my hand at realistic and abstract painting. In addition to painting​,​ I still draw with pencil​,​ charcoal and pastels. Sometimes I also use other techniques. It all makes me do things completely different​,​ both in terms of mood and expression. Much depends on the atmosphere of the moment I'm in. While living in Tenerife​,​ I met an exceptional person with typical Canarian kindness and cheerful spirit​,​ the outstanding artist Javier Huerta. He is a professional and self-taught artist at the same time. Dozens of works that I have made are inspired by the contact with this unique artistic personality. I have exhibited my works in Europe​,​ the USA and Canada. They were exhibited in both original and digital versions. I am most proud of the exhibition in Austria at the historic Villa Am Kaiserweg​,​ where my works were presented alongside those of artists such as Claude Monet​,​ David Hockney​,​ Andy Warhol​,​ Auguste Rodin​,​ Salvador Dali​,​ Gustav Klimt​,​ Marc Chagall and Pablo Picasso.
