Fantastic landscapes, fairy-tale creatures, mysteries of the imaginary world make up the surrealist painting of Pawel Trybalski. The artist, drawing from the layers of his own fantasy, creates a metaphorical image of the world. He builds its own archetype a bit cosmic, often hyperrealistic. The painter, as a travel enthusiast, happens to find elements of his paintings in reality. The extraordinary attention to the precision of the work, transports the viewer to the world of the old masters, who, like Pawel Trybalski, prepared the paints themselves from pigments. The artist has his own collection of unusual objects - figurines, fossils, prints or minerals, which sometimes become an impulse or play the role of a graceful model. A broad intellectual and cognitive horizon are the features of the painter himself, as well as his paintings. Pawel Trybalski lives and works in Michalowice in the Karkonosze Mountains. He has been a member of the Association of Polish Artists since 1970. In the 1960s, he worked with the "Len" Linen Industry Plant, where he was a designer. Then he also worked with the Institute of Industrial Design.
"What we are looking for in life, we are not often given to find. I made paradoxes and obviousness the source of associations that allow us to transfer the world of imagination to the world of the painted image. What we look for long and far, I advise to find quickly and close."
Pawel Trybalski
