ABOUT
*1982
MFA, Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, Poland
Based in Warsaw, Poland

Focusing on cyclicity, continuity, and transience, Krysiak employs a systematic, rule-based practice that allows the work to evolve organically from the inherent order of the painting process. Through this structured approach, he methodically uncovers the interplay between logic and unpredictability, framing order as a state of perpetual flux.

STATEMENT
Life is governed by constant laws, yet it continuously transforms through the intricate interactions of its elements. Similarly, my painting process is guided by fixed principles, while being continually altered by the inherent interdependencies among its integral components.

I fill circular canvases, each with a diameter of 50 cm, using successive brushstrokes of gold paint and a size 0 brush. This process demands sustained concentration and precise adaptation to the irregularities of each brushstroke. Each irregularity influences the direction of subsequent strokes, creating a cascading effect where small deviations accumulate into systemic change. The overall process is additionally shaped by hand instability, momentary distractions, or fatigue, demonstrating how seemingly negligible variables can profoundly disrupt or redefine a system's trajectory.

Each painting is titled according to its start and end dates, along with the number of brushstrokes used in its creation.
