I was born in 1972 in Poznań, Poland. As a small child, I moved with my parents to the small picturesque town of Warta on the Warta River. The beauty of nature, especially in the summer, colors and light were everyday life. When I was 14 I read a biographical story about Vincent van Gogh and it happened, I felt that I wanted to be a painter too. And all the nature around me and its beauty have been and still are my inspiration. I have no artistic education, I have been painting since I was 14. I paint, I stop and then I paint again... I want to do it as long as possible. Roscislaw Artur Klonowski
