Zdzisław Beksiński

The story of how I met this artist is a bit curious. I reviewed one of those typical humor pages until I found a post with one of his paintings. I had never seen such a painting, and the truth disturbed me a little.

I started looking for material about this painter and what I found was rather scarce because his whole life was quite dark.

To explain a little his work, it is necessary to mention that in several interviews that were realized he explained that "he had constant nightmares and that he woke up in the middle of the night and painted what he saw in them".

This is observed in all the themes of terror and fictional worlds that he deals with in his works. For many he is considered a genius, but his work has not been widespread except in the underground world.

His life was also full of mysteries and sadness because his wife died in 1998 and the following year, 1998, his only son committed suicide. In 2005 the painter was assassinated in his department by the children of the concierge of the building.

As they could read all his life and work was covered by the shadows, perhaps this marked his genius. Down afterstate a example of his job.
