Art Blog ~ Zdzisław Beksiński

I came across paintings by Zdzisław Beksiński recently on the internet. He is a Polish painter that was also a photographer and sculptor. I am a sucker for surrealistic paintings so of course I fell in love with his work. Zdzisław executed his work in a gothic manner (or as he put it 'baroque'). Towards the end of his life he began painting images of what he imagined hell to be. Majority of the images I have posted are from that period in his life. 


Sadly, Zdzisław was murdered in his Warsaw flat in 2005. The son of his longtime caretaker pleaded guilty to the murder shortly after.
