Krzysztof Cichoń Collection
Krzysztof Cichoń is a painter, graphic artist, and architect, a lecturer at SWPS University in Wrocław and a graduate of Wrocław University of Science and Technology. He is the creator of numerous murals in Poland and Austria, as well as individual fashion projects 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 pieces painted with acrylics, oils, markers, spray paint, and crayons. His paintings often bear traces of spontaneous acts of creation—imprints of hands, feet, or the body—that become records of energy and emotion. Multiple layers of overpainting build a three-dimensional texture, revealing the process through which the work takes shape, as well as the distortions and tensions embedded in its development.
Typography plays a strong role, inspired by Incan and Greek alphabets, from which the artist has created his own system of signs. Letters and symbols intertwine with human and animal figures, forming compositions characterized by brutal elegance. These contrasts—between spontaneity and precision, the purity of form and its destruction—define the character of his painting and account for its unique power.
