More like someone opened a polish version of jumanji.

'adjusting the focus of a camera'

Bryce Thibodeaux you did the same to Ivan Matveyev, you get what you give out.

Bryce Thibodeaux couldn’t get anymore pretentious huh?

@Bryce Thibodeaux everyone who read your comments thinks you're a loser.

a lot of losers in the comments. Dare I say, dumb fucks.

Ivan Matveyev you know how to deal with stupidity, I commend you

Yes he had his own studio

yep, in his own flat. Nice isolation from world to paint some horrific visions

Good hi-fi stufa, but the worst positioning ever seen.

That's a living room in a polish apartment . I'm from Poland

@@patriciazataj239 better than my apartment for sure.

Why are we here

Bryna L. I like your pfp what is it? (Sorry if that’s actually the dumbest question ever)

I like the moment i read this is the exact moment he scratched his belly in the video.

@@oriondurdaller3349 possibly a Clive Barker painting

Me too! We are all just silly bipedial apes…

I was wondering that, thanks.

Thank you

Thank you

That's was just wondering!!!

Does anyone recognize the loudspeakers he has chosen?

You can see it via the Sanok museum! He listened mostly to opera, rock, and a bit of i’between

I highly recommend visiting his gallery at Sanok Castle if you're able to, apart from the well known works it also has a lot of the more obscure paintings and sketches.

@@The_Qube Thanks for the tip--it would be a dream to see more of his paintings and especially in person.

@@The_Qube I may wanna try and visit! Since I live near, in Slovakia....

Hm, in other interview he said that he paint very slowly, so I doubt there was new painting per week.

@@Zavvorov He averaged about 40 paintings per year for decades. Some years more, some less, but about a painting per week is about right.

He used to compare his style to "adjusting focus of a camera". A big colour spot, then adding sharp detail with delicate small brush strokes... Thanks for watching Scarlette. :)

I swear when I look at beksinski bone hand/knuckle textures it reminds me a lot of a tarsiers clenched hand.

@@andyteszner wow, perfect analogy

@Chris McRoy lmao. keep it in ur pants bruh

Portal 3? Can you explain exactly what you mean by that? There are only two portals

actually, it's his flat

He probably liked to have ambient music on while he painted. This is inside his house he usd this room as his office.

I was about to write the same comment. Glad others notice that workspace. I want to see a video of him setting things up. That lighting! Watching other videos of him working, he never once stumbles looking for something. He knows exactly which tube to grab among that divided drawer of paints.

@@PaulMcCannWebBuilder It was normal thing to have room organized this way in Poland in the 90s (This was most likely filmed inside his flat apartment not a studio) People were proud of their stereo hi-fi and music collection. Those organized shelves and cabinets behind him is called "meblościanka" which was along with "wersalka" the most common furniture. Generally most of the population was resourceful and well organized.I like the office desk lamps used as lighting around the painting area. Wonder if it helped with paint drying process.

Then you have a gift my friend

I believe Beksinski was directly inspired by the great Polish painter Jacek Malczewski 1854-1929 where one can see multi figures blending together moving though a room similar to some of Bek's compositions. As far as artists of equal caliber just look to his contemporaries like H. Giger, Robert Venosa, Ernst Fuchs, De Es Schwertberger and even Dariusz Zawadzki who does Beksinski's style even better than Beksinski!

i understand why you would compare Dariusz Zawadzki to Beksinski, but beside drawing/painting techniques they are a lot different. While Zawadzki portrais more of a fantasy and mechanical world, Beksinski is more subconscious and emotion. Saying that Zawadzki does it better is ignorant.

I was somewhat exaggerating when saying he does it better, merely responding to the notion from the first comment "has anyone come close" but still stand by the fact that Zawadski is technically beyond Beksinski in detail and realism (thus the doing it better statement) which can be used to differentiate between the two.

I have found two, maybe. They reminded me of Beksinski, Dariusz Zawadzki (Polish) and Xueguo Yang (Chinese). Check them out.

Oenomaus i believe he's is inspired by hyeronimus bosch

Bad Lifestyle I'd love to see that

Are his pieces available in local Polish museums/galleries or did he keep them to himself?

I'm sure there are Polish galleries that have some of his work in-house, but it's still a monumental task to categorize them all and to put them online. Even Dmochowski's gallery is limited in that regard.

I saw this paint just yesterday in Warsaw in a gallery. It's amazing. I think that this masterpiece has no title, like most of his productions. Sorry for my bad English.

also he destroyed many works he deemed to personal for anyone else too see

There is a video interview on youtube where he talks about how much he enjoys making paintings just for his own pleasure with no desire of showing them to people.

This isn't a joe Rogan video

@@phillop6076 what if joe could draw and paint like that bruh?

@@te9591 another edgelord lol

@@phillop6076 take a chill pill

@@te9591 Joe had a pretty nice artwork actually, he used to showed and talked about it on his early podcasts . .

It was extremely functional, which reflects his personality acurately. Also, it was in communist Poland, where buying anything was a challenge (stuff just wasn't in the stores, you had to have connections to get it), so completing such studio was actually a major accomplishment in itself.

i find his work to be quite uplifting actually….not depressing…i see him quite focused at work, far away from depressive state…what i see its a studio with magic…but i do understand your view….

Comic or film?

Really?

I guess on the scene of hell

@@AndresGonzalez-wc3ek I'll have to try and watch for it one of these nights.

Sin dudas

Beauty

His paintings were mainly created using oil paint on hardboard panels that he personally prepared, although he also experimented with acrylic paints

really?

@@saii221 Yes, unfortunately he was stabbed by some young guy who wanted money from him. He was stabbed 17 times.

And while he was still alive his son committed suicide....

Anty Somnio BEKSINSKI, GRAN MAESTRO! el ha sido mi inspiración para encontrar el rumbo en mi estilo al pintar.

Dont know but sounds kind of like tangerine dream.

In the end there is a credit to who made it but I don't think this is a specific song.

I Shazamed it and it came up with this? Iceflow (Icetalk Mix) by Spirits Burning & Bridget Wishart. www.shazam.com/track/123393451/iceflow-icetalk-mix Don't know if it's right!

It's probably Alan Davey's One Moon Circles

There is a music credit at the end of this video: "High & Mighty," with Dan Thomson (ex Hawkwind) on drums, and Andy Teszner on keyboards 🔊🎶👍

Hello a fellow working artist here, I can only unfortunately answer the first question but most artist tend to document their work progress and sometimes using a camera can help see a slightly different perspective of your work, a camera tends to change the look of pieces and colors. I do it quite often and helps me to refer back to something if needed, and sometimes documentation is required for some art places. Hope this helped :)
