All Eyes On: Jakub Pasierkiewicz

About me

I was born in 1980 in Poland and I graduated from the University of Silesia with Masters in Fine Arts in 2005. Since I moved to England in 2006, I have exhibited my works mainly in Europe, India, US and Canada which include: Foto Festival Schiedam (Netherlands), The Lenzburg Photo Festival (Swiss), Head On Photo Festival (Australia), Kolga Tbilisi Photo (Georgia), The ING Discerning Eye (UK), PABA International Photo Competition (Pakistan), NOA17 (UK), Hiii Photography (China), The Indian Photography Festival IPF (India), Berlin Foto Biennale (Germany), MIFA Photography Awards (Russia).

Statement

I use my camera to transfer and materialise the emotions which develop in my mind, the excitement caused by encountered reality. Sometimes the photos can abstract from reality, showing different aspects of colours and forms, whereas other times they can simply reflect certain situations taking place in front of my camera. In my practice – be it photography, painting or drawing – I try to recreate an idea which appears through thorough observation of the surrounding world. In other words, if we agree that vision is something abstract, something that is invisible and represents an individual need to self–express, then art becomes a tool enabling to capture our ideas. Through art I try to translate my experience into the image. I can only add that in my work/practice the whole process of creation is more often intuitive and spontaneous rather than planned and posed. It is an encounter with the unknown but somehow familiar.
