Born in Gdansk, the artist studied painting at the State Higher School of Fine Arts in Gdansk from 1975 to 1980. He did his diploma in the studio of Prof. J . Zablocki. He is known primarily for his oil paintings, in which he often places figures in costumes and theatrical masks. Shrouded in an atmosphere of magic, the actors and jugglers in Kowalski's canvases are associated with the atmosphere of street theater. The artist is also involved in collecting. He creates miniature theaters out of very old objects.
Kowalski's paintings appeal to our imagination. He shows worlds full of beauty, which seem to exist forever thanks to the use of open perspective. His work is characterized by his knowledge of European painting, an extraordinary sense of composition, as well as excellent drawing and a great sense of color.
