Selbstbetrachtungen 21 (2024) Drawing by Bogdan Pilatowicz

Bogdan Pilatowicz, born in Warsaw and residing in Austria since 1981, is a visual artist known for his unique and individualistic approach to art. Having dedicated his life to the pursuit of artistic expression, Pilatowicz's journey began as a musician before transitioning to painting in 1995, where he has since offered a diverse range of creations including paintings, drawings, cartoons, murals, and digital art.

Pilatowicz sees himself as a painter without boundaries, driven by curiosity and a ion for exploring new artistic avenues. Unrestrained by convention, he selects subjects based on his sheer enjoyment of painting and consistently brings them to life on canvas. His approach transcends traditional distinctions between styles and materials, resulting in innovative and thought-provoking artworks that reflect his intensive creative process and wealth of experience.

While Pilatowicz's interests in painting are eclectic, he has a particular affinity for the surreal. Inspired by the languages and aesthetics of the surrealists, he infuses his work with his own unique style. In the early 2000s, after years of exploring figurative and surreal painting, he embarked on a journey into abstract painting, which opened up new realms of possibility for him. Experimenting with different materials and techniques, Pilatowicz finds the interplay between abstraction and figuration to be particularly intriguing.

For Pilatowicz, the fusion of abstract and surreal elements creates a captivating dynamic that both challenges and guides the viewer. His artworks serve as playful signposts, inviting audiences to explore the boundaries of imagination and interpretation.
