Robert Tys
Born in Poland, he was absorbed in drawing from an early age. As a young man, he developed this passion at the Faculty of Graphic Arts of the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice, and subsequently at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in the class of A.R. Penck (1990–1996), where he graduated with the title of Meisterschüler in the Faculty of Painting. He worked alongside Gregor Waliczek on numerous projects, including collaborations for Jannis Kounellis. During his studies, he also met Frank Stella, to whom he presented his works. He gained his education and life experience both in his home country and abroad. Both graphic arts and painting are reflected in his past and current body of work. He has organized exhibitions of his art in Marseille, Madrid, Düsseldorf, and at the Roemer- und Pelizaeus-Museum in Hildesheim—venues serving as meeting points for people of diverse cultures, experiences, and passions. He also participated in an international conservation project carried out at the Prince’s Palace of Monaco.
ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENT
After years spent in Germany, the south of France became his home, as well as the catalyst for further artistic development and evolution. The special light, colors, beautiful nature, and architecture of the Mediterranean basin became his daily inspiration for creating his paintings. He mixes them in his own way, turning them into his own unique mixture. Painting, drawing, and photographing, he fills each blank page with blue, green, and sunlight, creating works vibrating with the colors and energy of the French Riviera, Provence, and the Alpine foothills.
Robert Tys, the sunny artist from the south, continues his life journey by painting and photographing the beauty that surrounds him.
