About the Artist

Dariusz Jasiczak Dariusz Jasiczak was born in 1964 in Poznan, Poland. Since the age of 16 he has been actively interested in fine arts, especially in fantastic painting (principally surrealism).

His first works were influenced by the masterpieces of such painters as Hieronimus Bosch, Arnold Böcklin, Salvador Dali and Max Ernst. From 1985 to 1991 he studied philosophy at A. Mickiewicz University in Poznan, although his main love was always illustration.

Dariusz' first art commissions came in 1990. These were mainly illustrations for calendars, placards, and, later on, book covers (which comprise all his work today).

During the early '90s, he used only traditional techniques to create his paintings (acrylic and oil painting) and his work from that period was thematically connected with horror and SF. Time brought significant changes, and around 1996, he started using a computer as a graphic tool, and slowly this took over until today it is the only instrument he uses to create his images.

In 2001, the importance of the computer was brought to the fore when Dariusz presented a selection of his pictures at the Eighth Festival of SF in Nidzica entitled Virtual World 2000 - 2001.

The spirit of his present artistic endeavours can be summed up in Dariusz' own words: "Long ago, in my room, the smell of varnish was strong. Long ago, there were pencils, brushes and paints on the table. Long ago, no one had heard about The Matrix ... "
