Marek Langowski was born in Aleksandrow Lódzki, Poland, and now lives and works in Belchatow, near Lodz. His biggest passions are family loving, painting, photography, and computing. His work is mostly contemporary oil paintings with a thick texture of paint, there is no domination of one colour.
The play on light is very important in his work, seen from the reflection off the waves of the sea, the flickering light of a lantern in the darkest of streets, and the beauty of sunrise or sunset. He uses a variety of techniques to create incredible scenes that shimmer with the dance of light. His canvases are filled with emotion and atmosphere.
His wonderfully crafted scenes of the Venice lagoon capture boats illuminated by the golden glow of streetlights. His seascapes contain every flick of light caught fleetingly on the temporary crest of a wave, while boats hold their solid forms against dissipating sunlight. In some works he faithfully captures the shape and grandeur of masts and sails, while in others he allows the light to take over in a more impressionistic style.
