SAINER
Born in 1988 in ¸ódê, Poland. A graduate of Academy of Fine Arts in ¸ódê. A freelancer balancing between murals, canvases and graphic designs and focusing mainly on illustrations and portraits. By portraying real objects and figures in untypical contexts, he invites the viewer to the world of imagination where the meanings are not strictly defined. The viewer is encouraged to walk into Sainer’s surreal story and continue it in his own, individual way.You can see his works on the streets of different countries like: Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republik, France, Germany,Norway,Portugal, Russia, Slovakia, Ukraine, USA and of course Poland.
