WILHELM SASNAL

Wilhelm Sasnal (born in 1972) is a Polish painter. Sasnal received his diploma of painting in 1999 from theAcademy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Sasnal is primarily a painter, but more recently turned to photography and film. Sasnal subjects are more or less banal everyday objects, portraits of historical figures, views of his home town Cracow, snapshots of friends and family members and very often existing images from the internet or mass media are his starting point. His approach is unpredictable and his methods range from graphic reduction and a pointedly two-dimensional, illustration-oriented style to seemingly autonomous gestures with brush and paint.
