Biography
Aleksander Roszkowski was born in 1961 in Warsaw, Poland. In 1985 he graduated from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts, where he studied under Jacek Sienicki and Zbigniew Gostomski. He received his diploma from the Faculty of Painting in 1985. He was a participant in
many individual and group exhibitions at home and abroad. Two years after receiving his diploma, Aleksander Roszkowski won two honorable mentions at the 13th Jan Spychalski National Painting Competition in Poznan. He was also awarded at the "Arsenal 88" show. What distinguishes Roszkowski's art is an extremely expressive creative method and a specific, unique color scheme, achieved by laying down successive layers of paint. The early canvases of this artist were situated in the then popular trend of new expression. Already at the end of the decade of the 1980s Roszkowski began to create monumental figural compositions, depicting human silhouettes in canonical shots, such as the Crucifixion. Alexander Roszkowski's latest paintings are closer to geometric abstraction. However, instead of the formal purism typical of this trend, this artist's canvases are painted expressively and have a rich texture, which gives them a specific volume.
