Rafal Tylicki, UU (Conditioned Utopia), 2024

oil on canvas, 160,00 x 120,00 cm

Born in 1980 in Grudziadz, Poland. Grew up between Poland and Sweden, where cultural contrasts shaped his perception of beauty as emotion rather than form. He has been involved in the fashion world for 19 years as an artistic and creative director, co-creating campaigns for top brands. He has also been creating concepts and directing music videos since 2023. He has been painting since 2011, and since 2022 has been presenting his works to the general public - including at ART & DESIGN, ARTSHOW and Sopot Auction House exhibitions. His art is an emotional journey between matter and spirituality, full of introspection and sensual impulses, a record of emotions that resonate with everyday life. In his own words: Understanding is love - its first characteristic and definition. Image is the result of the meeting of body and soul.
