Ryszard Kajzer

Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw

His paintings, collages or posters are, like haiku, the art of suggesting meanings without revealing them completely. It is a world in which nothing is literal, a world full of freedom, tenderness, intelligence and humour, which is in keeping with the best achievements of the masters of the Polish School of Posters of the second half of the 20th century.

Graphic designer, author of posters, paintings, collages, drawings, illustrations, books and graphic signs. Graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and the Schule für Gestaltung in St Gallen, Switzerland.
