Krzysztof Cichoń Collection
Krzysztof Cichoń is a painter, graphic designer, and architect. He lectures at SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Wrocław and is a graduate of the Wrocław University of Science and Technology. He has created numerous murals in Poland and Austria, as well as individual fashion designs inspired by typography, lettering, and symbolism. He runs his own architectural studio while also intensively exploring various media and forms of expression.
His work is dominated by large-scale paintings in acrylic, oil, marker, spray, and crayon. The paintings often bear traces of spontaneous creation—handprints, footprints, or body impressions—that become a record of energy and emotion. Multi-layered overpaintings create a three-dimensional texture, revealing the process of creation, the deformations, and tensions inherent in its development.
Typography, inspired by the Inca and Greek alphabets, plays a significant role, from which the artist created his own system of symbols. Letters and symbols intertwine with human and animal figures, creating compositions of brutal elegance. These contrasts—between spontaneity and precision, purity of form and its destruction—define the character of his painting and constitute its exceptional power.
