Zdzisław Beksiński (1929-2005)
Beksinski became famous as a painter, who also boldly reached for computer graphics. And although it is mainly painting that his name is associated with, he was also an engineer, architect, sculptor and photographer. Beksinski is best known and associated in Poland, as well as abroad, for his later works created in the 1980s and 1990s, a period he himself described as 'baroque' and later, 'gothic'. These works are mysterious and full of horror. During this period, he focused increasingly on form. Although he remained faithful to figuration, he was convinced that he should paint as he had done in his early youth, i.e. with only one aim - to achieve a correctly, harmoniously, in a definite order, painted plane delineated by a frame.
