Pawel Opalinski
Poland
Born on February 23, 1967 in Kielce (Poland) - graduated from the Faculty of Graphics and Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź (Poland). Doctorate at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz in 2011.

His research interests concern the emotions of the recipient of a visual message - in which artist as the creator interacts through a specific code. Searching for innovative forms of photographic expression, he uses his own experimental imaging techniques. Artistic works, exhibited both in Poland and abroad, have brought the author a number of awards and distinctions, including the International Photography Awards (USA), Tokyo Photography Awards (Japan), Paris Photography Prize (France), European Photography Awards and Muse Photography Awards (USA). In 2023, the curators who created the ArtFacts - Global Art Ranking included him among the 100 most important creators in the categories of "fine art photography" and "abstraction-creation" - alongside artists whose works are today considered milestones in the world of photography and abstract painting.
