About Pawel Krol
Gdansk, Poland
Biography
Pawel Krol is an international Polish artist, currently based in Gdańsk, though he works from various locations across Europe. With a background in architecture, his work carries a strong sense of structure, balance and spatial awareness. This foundation remains visible even in his more expressive pieces, where layered textures, bold colour fields and abstract forms create a distinct visual rhythm.His artistic language is influenced by contemporary urban culture as well as the cultural and historical depth of Eastern Europe.
Pawel's work frequently explores themes of memory, identity and the environments that shape human experience, resulting in artworks that feel both intimate and universal. He has exhibited widely and his works are held in private collections throughout Europe and beyond. Working across painting, illustration and digital media, Pawel continues to evolve his visual expression while maintaining a clear and recognisable artistic signature.
He lives in Gdańsk and works wherever inspiration takes him.
