Jaroslaw Kukowski is one of the best surrealist painters of our time. His art is of seemingly age-old frescos although he lives and paints still, today. He enjoy painting of nudes, and extraterestrial-like creatures. He paints on many social issues in a way that shocks people and starts controversies.
(Frescos are paintings using plaster, generally on wall or ceilings.)
The polish painter–
“analyzes the world and life with a psychological background. He paints the grotesque and mockery of the imperfections in life….[and of] danger and threat. Death, conflagration, disaster are frequent elements of his artistic reality. There are symbolic elements in his work, which can trigger contradictory reactions of the audience.” –Maria Dziopak
“Kukowski’s works are described as examples of surrealism or photosurrealism. He uses techniques of drawing and oil painting. His characteristic painting effect is “trompe l’oeil” – an illusion of three-dimensionality experienced by viewers. The artist is famous for his untypical process of documenting his painting activities by recording them in the form of animation. Kukowski explores moral and social themes relating to death and elapsing time in his works. They are also a detailed study of human nature and their objective is to move the spectator deeply.”–Joanna Kalinowska
Kukowski has held great exhibitions throughout Poland-Warsaw and Cracow especially, as well as NYC, Miami, Denmark, Berlin, and Canada.

Surrealism is one of my favorite art genres. It began in the 20’s, using elements of suprise and juxtapositions, and developed through and after the Dada movement. Salvador Dali is one of the most famous surrealist painters, and one of my all-time favorites.
