Mariusz Kaldowski: Born 1962 in Poland and currently living in Westerham, Kent.
In 1987 Mariusz graduated with an MA in Fine Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts, Krakow and is a painter, print maker and graphic designer.
Since coming to the UK in 1996 Mariusz has been busy creating, exhibiting and successfully selling his work. To date he has had over 160 exhibitions, 131 in the UK – venues have been the Barbican Centre, Gallery 27 and the Arndean Gallery in Cork Street, London and the Museum of Lancashire amongst others. Mariusz undertakes portrait commissions and has been a family portrait painter for a number of years for Fred Olsen (of Fred Olsen Cruise Liners). Since 2002 he has been an Artist in Residence at Regent’s Park. Since 2009 he has been working with the National Trust as their resident artist for the South East region.
In his landscapes and gardens Mariusz wants to share with us unique atmospheres of particular views. This was recognised, for example, by an award that he received in 2000 for “Expressing the Essential Spirit of Holland Park”. He has also received other numerous awards, over the years including in 2006 - Main Prize Winner - Editor’s choice ‘The Artist Magazine’ and in the same year the Nina Hosali 1st Prize - Free Painters & Sculptors Society. In addition and over the years, he has been creating paintings that are illustrations to classical music.
In 2000 Mariusz completed a substantial (22 x 1.5 m) frieze inspired by Vivaldi’s music, entitled ‘Four Seasons Four Stages of Life’, the original of which is shown as part of the classical performances of Polish National Radio Orchestra and has been featured on Polish National TV. Following this he has recently completed four annexes to this frieze to accompany the Piazzolla’s version of the Four Seasons, and was commissioned to prepare a separate triptych to commemorate the Year of Chopin in 2010, which will be shown on stage during recitals by prominent pianists. The paintings and musical art forms perfectly complement each other, creating an exceptional entwined performance and adding an additional dimension to the audience’s experience.
