Biography
Andrzej Mazur holds Fine Art Degrees from University of Maria Curie Sklodowska in Lublin, Poland. His work is always about communication and the complexities of human relationships and his greatest inspiration is a single human being. The inspirations are deeply rooted in himself, it is a state of mind. It is a relation between art and beauty of people, between art and violence. Some of his images are derived from photos of real people, others are inspirited by classic masterpiece of art. His work and research explore conceptual relations between cognitive processes, languages and cultures. His inspiration is a complexity and depth of single individual feelings, getting out of mental barrier. In his works he is trying to connect the way, which forms states human anxiety, intimate and difficult to articulate states. He is looking for a path, which in a strange and unexpected way will guide him through difficult and sometimes sensitive emotions. Mazur received second prize at the Impressions 2010 Print Exhibition from Galway Art Centre.
