Linocut                                             

Wieslaw Haladaj                               
Residence: Lodz, Poland
Birthplace: Piotrkow Trybunalski, Poland

As a visual artist, I have always been interested in the genesis of the human psyche, and what I would call the naked human condition: the situation in which a human being realized for the first time—deprived of all ideas and delusions about himself—their existence, and the place they live in, the infinity and mystery of the university and their place in it, sealed by transcience. Linocut, due to its primitive, archetypal character, seems well suited to these kinds of expressions.

Wieslaw Haladaj was born in 1959, in Piotrkow Trybunalski, Poland, and studied at the State University of Fine Arts, in Lodz, Poland, graduating from the Printmaking Department in 1984. He is active in printmaking, drawing, and painting, and was a prize jury member of the 14th International Print Biennial, in Varna, Baulgaria [2007].
