About the Artist
Wojciech Cieśniewski (1958)
The Artist, Painter, Professor of Art. Born in 1958 in Działdowo, Wojciech Cieśniewski initially pursued a passion for theoretical mathematics, earning a Master’s degree from the Higher Pedagogical School in Olsztyn in 1984. During his studies, he discovered that the language of mathematical symbols could not adequately express his emotions.
In 1983, he began studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, where he graduated with distinction in 1988 under the mentorship of Prof. Rajmund Ziemski. Since 1990, he has been a faculty member at the academy, serving as Vice Dean of the Faculty of Painting from 2005 to 2012. Currently, he leads his own diploma studio.
Cieśniewski is considered one of the most significant contemporary Polish painters, recognized for both his artistic and intellectual achievements. For the first two decades of his career, he explored abstraction, investigating the autonomy of meaning and the impact of visual language in painting. In later years, he returned to figurative painting, engaging in a dialogue with the traditions of European art, drawing inspiration from masters such as Caravaggio, Giotto, Michelangelo, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and Vermeer.
Over time, his work increasingly addressed ethical questions and the broader themes of good and evil in human life, while examining the role of art as a vehicle for beauty and virtue. His paintings often draw upon themes from the Bible, mythology, Christian iconography, and history.
Wojciech Cieśniewski has received numerous awards, including the Special Merit Award at the 2nd Malaysia International Art Exhibition (2012) and the “Gloria Artis” Medal for Merit to Culture (2011). His works have been featured in over 150 individual and group exhibitions in Poland and abroad.
