Jack Lipowczan was born in 1951 in Poland. He attended the most important Polish art college - the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, which he finished in 1976 obtaining a Master’s Degree in Graphic-Design. Directly after his studies, he worked as an Assistant Scene Designer for the Polish Film Studios and also had a few exhibitions showing his works: oil-paintings and drawings.
 
Jack left Poland in 1981 and lived in Sweden, Australia, and finally settled in Germany. Until 2002, he worked as an Art Director, first in a film studio, and then in different advertising agencies.

Since 2003 Jacek has been devoting his life to painting and working as an independent artist-painter and illustrator.
 
Jack Lipowczan was always fascinated by the art of Hieronymus Bosch, Peter Breugel, Holbein, and, later in life, by the artists of the Italian Renaissance. Those influences can be clearly seen in his paintings, which show meticulous attention to detail, composition and colour.

Jack’s style of painting can be best expressed as fantastic realism intertwined with surrealism. He has a very personal attitude to his art: his paintings are the ironic but benevolent synthesis of life seen through the mirror of the soul. Each one of Jack’s paintings has a few allegorical stories to tell, but he leaves the interpretation to the spectator.
