Henryk WANIEK
b. 1942 Oswiecim
Studied at the Faculty of Graphic Arts in Katowice - a branch of the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, received his diploma in 1970. While at university, he became associated with painters with a fantasy-magic orientation, Barbara and Henryk "Fantazos Ziembicki. He then joined the Oneiron group (including Andrzej Urbanowicz, Urszula Broll, filmmaker Antoni Halor), which was perhaps the first in Poland in the counterculture generation to put forward a program of integrating art with Eastern philosophy and attempted to penetrate and artistically exploit so-called altered states of consciousness. Wańek's work is based on the impeccable technique of a painter-realist and the erudition of an explorer of the past, secret knowledge, symbolism of numbers, etc. The artist is also no stranger to the literary legacy, especially its fantasy and visionary themes.
