Michał Spryszyński
Born in Lublin in 1987.
Graduated from the Lublin School of Art and Design in 2010 with a degree in painting and gilding techniques. Graduated from the Faculty of Arts of the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin. In 2014, he obtained a bachelor's degree under the watchful eye of Dr. Jakub Ciężki.
He works in painting and airbrushing, less frequently in drawing.
His works could be seen, among others, during group exhibitions such as:
Young Art Forum of the White Gallery at the Cultural Center in Lublin (2013).
"Shock, shock ... and disbelief" at the LSM House of Culture in Lublin (2013).
Exhibition of works by students of the Artistic Institute of the UMCS,

"Behance" review in Lublin, during which he received an honorable mention (2016r).
He also presented his paintings during solo exhibitions, including:
"When demons sleep, reason awakens" at PUB KULTURA Rzeszow (2017).
"Painting" at Galeria pod Ratuszem in Glogow Malopolski (2017).
"Imago" - at RCKP in Krosno(2019)
"What about values" - at the Zajezdnia History Center in Wroclaw
His works are in private collections in Poland, Belgium and the United States.
He is strongly inspired by the works of surrealist artists and street art, as well as contemporary painting forms, which provides a background and context for his works. In his work, he is mainly oriented towards color and subject matter, that I draw mainly from the unreality that surrounds him.
His inspirations are often dreams, surrealism and paradoxes. I also draw inspiration from nature, the elements, and the surrounding micro- and macro-world.
