Tytus Brzozowski (Poland)

Tytus Brzozowski is an architect and watercolor painter from Warsaw, who creates incredibly vivid portraits of his hometown as if descended from the pages of a book of fairy tales. His paintings could be called surreal, but being not just an artist, but also an architect, Tytus manages to achieve recognition of the city even on the most “fabulous” canvases.

“I really love my hometown, its history. I am interested in exploring Warsaw, understanding and discovering its originality, the beauty of buildings belonging to different eras and styles. And the energy is probably given to me by the process of creating a picture. It brings great joy, especially when you see and understand where everything is moving, what will be the result”, — he notes.
