Stanislaw Zoladz was born in Poland, and has studied at Kraków Academy of Fine Arts.
Since 1978 he lives and works in Sweden.
To find motifs for his paintings, Stanislaw is always on the hunt for exiting light settings.
In the summer he paints where growth gives way to rocks by the water in Stockholm's archipelago.
Nature is a predominant theme in his works of art.
But quite often an abandoned tractor, or a red cottage by the horizon, also remind us of human presence.
Every year Stanislaw travels to exciting places to paint.
Some places where he has found inspiration include Italy, Gambia, The West Indies, Lofoten in Norway, Morocco, Spain, Åland and Finland.
While new places can be inspiring, so can dear old ones, which you know like the back of your pocket.
In Simpnäs and Arholma in the Roslagen Archipelago, outside of Stockholm, are Stanislaw's favourite spots to paint.
There, he returns to same motifs over and over again, finding them new each time light and weather sets a little bit differently on them.
If Stanislaws paintings have one thing in common, then it is his impression of light.

Stanislaw Zoladz è un artista figurativo dell'acquarello, famoso per la sua abilità nel rappresentare l'acqua e la luce.
Stanislaw Zoladz è nato in Polonia e ha studiato all'Accademia di Belle Arti di Cracovia.
Dal 1978 vive e lavora in Svezia.
Per trovare motivi per i suoi dipinti, Stanislaw è sempre alla ricerca di ambientazioni luminose emozionanti.
In estate dipinge dove la vegetazione lascia il posto alle rocce in riva all'acqua nell'arcipelago di Stoccolma.
La natura è un tema predominante nelle sue opere.
Ma molto spesso un trattore abbandonato o una casetta rossa all'orizzonte ci ricordano anche la presenza umana.
