Satirical Illustations by Pawel Kuczynski
on Facebook
Polish illustrator Pawel Kuczynski cleverly uses satire to portray today’s social, political and cultural reality.
At first sight, his illustrations might seem funny, but when you look closer, they actually show some serious problems of today’s world.
According to Kuczynski, war, poverty, hunger, racial discriminations, ecology, money are as immortal and timeless as art, and that’s why he addresses these issues in his artwork. In addition, he uses satire and black humor, which reflect the sad reality we live in. Deeply influenced by Carravaggio and other baroque painters, he uses light in a similar way to them. Pastel colors, simple shapes and forms give his artwork a timeless look.
Born in 1976, Pawel is a graduate of Fine Arts Academy in Poznan. The artist began drawing satirical illustrations back in 2004, and so far has been “rewarded with 92 prizes and distinctions“. In 2005, Pawel Kuszynski received “Eryk” award from Association of Polish Cartoonists for getting a record number of awards in international competitions.

Thank you very much! George.
You know, over time, we end up being informed about the artists better than about us.. The admiration that we feel for them, is really nourishing.
But sincerely, one gets inspired too, from all that has already been written.
Enjoy!

Hi Awa. Thank you for your compliments, in your mail.
But I hope my posts will satisfy you!
This artist is one of my favorites; They are all my favorites; Ah ah I think!
His subjects are worse than sad, they are serious. Unfortunately, the denial persists in many people. Thus, through satire and black humor, it becomes more tolerable!
I do not have time to answer all of them; really sorry…
See you soon, I hope
