JACEK MAGRYS
Jacek Magrys (born March 28, 1958, in Tarnów) is a painter whose work has been shaped by multiple countries and cultures. From an early age, he received awards in national art competitions, including those organized by Szymon Kobyliński.
Even in his early creative period, Magrys demonstrated exceptional artistic sensitivity and an original approach to nature. In 1988, he emigrated to Greece, where he created series of works that were well-received by the artistic community. Since 1991, he has lived in Canada, continuing to develop his painting. His Toronto exhibition, held at venues including the Woodbine racetrack, exemplified a creative fusion of European painting traditions with the experience of emigration.
Magrys specializes in equine and landscape painting, primarily working in pastel and oil. His works are distinguished by subtle expression, masterful use of color, and the ability to capture the dynamics and character of nature. Magrys’s art combines refined sensitivity with emotional depth, offering viewers an artistic narrative of the world’s beauty and the personal experience of emigration
