www.ducatiart.comThe Artist
Pat Kuleta was in Poland and brought up in the Kaszuby region. He has studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz. He has lived for few years in Manchester, England. Now he is working and living in Warsaw. "To be an artist is knowing exactly how coffee tastes at 6 in the morning after 48 hours of continuous work". "It's all about passion for the art". Pat is inspired and driven by European expressionists like Egon Schiele, Josef Fenneker, Franc Marc, Francis Bacon and Lyonel Feininger. The bold sometimes harsh but sensitive paint strokes, vivid and dark colors all mixed together give his works utterly powerful looks. This is what he is interested in. He likes to work with all kinds of artistic media and is convinced that real artists should try everything and not to be afraid of reaching for a whole different medium which could help them mature artistically.
