Jacek Yerka, 1952 | Il sogno Surrealista

Jacek Yerka, pittore surrealista Polacco, nato a Torun, vive e lavora con la sua famiglia, in un enclave rurale della sua nativa Polonia.

Inizia con lo studiare Storia dell'Arte e segue corsi di grafica, poi si dedica alla pittura nel 1980.

Dipinge (dapprima solo su tela con olio e acrilico) con meticoloso realismo stile fiammingo.

Nei suoi lavori s'intravvede la pastorale atmosfera della campagna polacca, che però fa da base non strutturale, difatti la magia sognante di Yerka s'ispira ai pittori e personaggi del 15°-16° secolo: Cagliostro. Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Bruegel, Hugo van der Goes e Jan van Eyck ed anche il moderno Magritte: una magia che in lui è fatta di cultura, grande immaginazione e simbolismo.

Fantastic Art is a broad and loosely defined art genre.

It can be characterised by subject matter - which portrays non-realistic, mystical, mythical or folkloric subjects or events - and style, which is representational and naturalistic, rather than abstract - or in the case of magazine illustrations and similar, in the style of graphic novel art such as manga.
