#ART BY ŁUKASZ WIECZOREK
Łukasz Wieczorek, a young artist whose talent was born out of a passion for expressing emotions in artistic works. An ambitious young chef by occupation, working in the profession on a daily basis and successful in this field. He has been painting for 2 years, considering it a hobby and an opportunity to “catch your breath” in a rather busy life of a chef. “It started with an attempt to paint a picture which was supposed to be an element of the apartment interior design. My painting aims at expressing emotions, either positive or negative, and that’s what these pictures are, they convey feelings ... In my opinion painting pictures and the work of a chef have a lot in common when it comes to creativity and expression”.

#ART BY HANNA BAKUŁA
The Artist – Painter, Writer, Columnist – Hanna Bakuła. Known as “Witkacy in a skirt”, Ms Hanna Bakuła is an artist of many talents, a graduate of painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, the author of 20 publications, a long-term columnist in magazines for women and men, and also a designer. She has established the Hanna Bakuła Foundation, which helps children from orphanages. She actively supports women and their projects, describing herself as a soft-feminist. “Pandemic Flowers” is a series of art works presenting flowers which, as the only “models”, Ms Hanna Bakuła was drawing during the lockdown. Painting flowers is a very difficult matter not to turn out a piece of kitsch. They are too beautiful. […] During the pandemic, they happened to be the only available models. I was embarrassed by the first floral pastels. After a few, I realized that I had wasted many years using them as background elements of the portraits rather than the main motives. Hanna Bakuła. You are welcome to watch Hanna Bakuła Author’s Evening at the Platinum Mountain Hotel & SPA.
