Nikolas Wereszczynski

I am a London-based Polish artist specialising in gouache painting and printmaking.

My work is largely informed by folk culture, which I believe to be a living archive of ‘common’ people’s daily lives, and a secret language through which early religious practices, which I interpret as animistic, have been able to quietly survive periods of strife, colonisation, and forced religious conversion.

I believe folk culture to be the meeting point and the physical embodiment of both daily life and early religious practices, as well as a testament to the lack of any real distinction between the two, as reflected within the animist thought.

I strive to make work that expresses qualities of beauty, awe and joy, and that speaks of the mundane as divine, while also creating a quiet, contemplative space that allows for a felt, rather an intellectual experience of my pieces.
