Among this year`s winners, is Polish painter Antoni kowalski, who has interiors or severely cropped details from the landscapes of Hieronymus
exhibited widely in Europe and is also in many museum collections, Bosch.kowalski invests his pictures with a Bosch-like drama without
including the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. kowaski`s calls his resorting to the human figure, yet there is a sense of the human spirit in
most recent paintings “prayers’, for, they express his “dialogue with god” his peculiar still life imagery that speaks directly to the emotions and the
kowalski`s approach is metaphysical, as befits his theme, with mysterious soul (excerpt).
