Painter, author of spatial realisations, site-specific works, installations, objects, films. He was born in 1963 in Gdansk. His most famous series of works include Jumps into the Water, Flowers & Stars, Faites vos jeux and Homemade Paintings. In the early 2000s, the artist began to transfer his works from canvas to wall, resulting in large-scale murals and site-specific works. There are several recurring themes in Fliciński’s work: the relationship between man and nature, the perception of time and the environment, the history of mankind and the history of art, focusing on the periods of the first avant-garde and modernism. In his practice, the artist combines the analytical precision of geometric abstraction with an affective characterisation, often touching on seemingly trivial and imperceptible elements of the reality that surrounds us. Through procedures of repetition, building compositions with axes and lines, he refers to phenomena taken from nature and landscape. The paintings and spatial realisations created in this way remain in an inseparable relationship with the place where they are created. He currently lives and works in Warsaw and Zawada, Poland.
