Janusz Skowron was born in Kolbuszowa, Poland (1958). He studied Fine Arts at the University of UMCS in Lublin and received a Masters Degree in Lithography in 1983. Since 1989 Mr. Skowron has been living and working in New York City. Mr. Skowron is a member of the international multimedia art group “Emotionalism”, “The Polish Artists Association”, PIASA and the “New Century Artists Gallery” (NYC). He is the co-founder of the “KONT Gallery” (1978) and the “SHTOOKA Gallery” (2006). Artist is an organizer and participant in international xhibits including “Entropy of Art” (2008) and “Transformations- works on paper” (2011-2013). In his artwork he moves easily between figurative and more abstract themes. His sensibility is constantly in flux between inner and outer realities that are realized in his expression of exquisite and evocative psychological tension. His art screams, shouts and whispers feelings and moods of the moment, ranging from anger, pain, and ecstasy to serenity, joy and intellectual reflection. Each work is done in one session; he never returns to the mood of moment. “It wouldn’t be genuine, you cannot feel exact emotions twice.”

Mr. Skowron has exhibited his works at the PIASA Gallery and has participated in more than two hundred exhibitions, displaying his works in Poland, Hungary, U.S.A., South Korea, China, France, Denmark, Ukraine and Germany. His broad range of skills includes painting, drawing, photography and graphic arts. Since 2001 his illustrations have been published by the New York magazine “Kurier Plus”. Mr. Skowron has served as the curator of several exhibitions, and he is a tireless promoter of Polish Art in America.
