Adrian Koszyk: “I will say I was born to be creative”

“For a long period of time I was looking for the best way to express myself but at the moment I find it and feel comfortable with expression of my art”

Πως και πότε ξεκινήσατε να ασχολείστε συστηματικά με την Τέχνη; Art is always part of my life since I remember but systematically and seriously started to think and do art about 12yers ago after meeting an amazing artist and my good friend Izabela Campbell.

Καλλιτέχνης γεννιέται κανείς ή γίνεται; heh… In first class in primary school when I was 8 or 9 years old my teacher called my mum and said that she can’t make pictures for me, and the teacher couldn’t believe I did it myself. So I will say I was born to be creative.

Σε ποιο ρεύμα ή κίνημα θα εντάσσατε τα έργα σας; For a long period of time I was looking for the best way to express myself but at the moment I find it and feel comfortable with expression of my art. 

Από που αντλείτε την έμπνευσή σας; Ιnspiration, mostly I find from peoples, my friends, partners, models etc. Destroyed body or brain be the social media or advertising and fake happiness.

Υπάρχουν προσωπικότητες ή άλλοι καλλιτέχνες που έχουν επηρεάσει το έργο σας; I think all of us have a Masters, my name will be Zdzisław Beksinski who amazingly plays with the human body as a form.

Ποιά είναι η μεγαλύτερη πρόκληση που έχετε θέσει στον εαυτό σας ως καλλιτέχνης; The biggest challenge so stressful but at the same time so exciting was my first exhibition in Dublin.

Πόσο αποδεκτή είναι η Τέχνη στην Ελλάδα σήμερα και τι ρόλο καλείται να παίξει στο δημόσιο χώρο; I have been in Greece mostly times in Athens a few times and I have to say I’m well impressed every time by the amount of art and creativity of the people in public space.

Ποιά είναι τα μελλοντικά σας σχέδια; I’d like to spend more time on my art and turn it to my profession and also have more opportunities to show them in other parts of the world. One of my biggest dreams from a few years ago is to move to Athens 🙂
