Adam Kozik – painter, architect. He was born in 1972 in Cracow (Poland). From 1993 to 1998, he studied at the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning of the Cracow Polytechnic School. In 1998 graduated from the Department of Design of Public Utility Buildings.
Adam Kozik has earned a reputation as an architect: his designs sometimes surprise with unconventional and original ideas, but the buildings he designed remain user-friendly. The influence of architecture is also visible in Kozik’s paintings, especially in the creative process and the way he constructs his artworks. At the same time, he also boldly uses color, which becomes a structural element.
Adam Kozik’s paintings are full of dynamism, energy, and joy of life: the artist takes up subjects that fascinate him, such as fashion, cars, and polo, although he does not hesitate to experiment with form so that the depicted motif sometimes becomes difficult to recognize, disappearing among the harmonies and color contrasts.
Adam Kozik is also an active organizer of artistic life, founder, and owner of Off Frame Gallery, located in the heart of Cracow.

Artur Majka was born in 1967 in Tarnow. Since 1992 he lives and works in Paris. He graduated from the Cracow Polytechnic School in architecture and from École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. This versatile training is reflected in his art, both through the use of different techniques including acrylic painting, photography or silk-screen printing (among many others), but also by the diversity of his professional experiences. Indeed, Artur Majka is not only a painter and photographer but he also works as a graphic designer: he realizes illustrations for various publications and he is the author of many posters. Moreover, he often mixes several techniques and styles in the same work, which allows him to obtain a plastic and aesthetic originality, and gives him a new artistic dimension. At the same time, the artist remains faithful to his education: independently from the technique used, the line is always the basis of the composition of all his works. It is both the starting point and an integral part of the result, also – or perhaps above all – in the works that are at the limits between figuration and abstraction.
Artur Majka regularly exhibits his work in Poland, the USA and in France. Since 2010, he has been associated with the Galerie Roi Doré, for which he created its first logo and where he has presented his work several times (at individual and collective exhibitions).
In June 2017, he won the 3rd edition of the Tadeusz Malinski “NanoArt” Contest, with his sculpture “The Parallel Existences”.

Michal Szumlas was born in 1998 in Czestochowa (Poland). He graduated with honors from the Jacek Malczewski High School of Fine Arts in Czestochowa, where he specialized in artistic ceramics in the class of prof. Karol Nowakowski and prof. Mariusz Lapinski. In 2017, he began studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw at the Faculty of Painting and Sculpture in the sculpture studio of prof. Grazyna Jaskierska-Albrzykowska.
Michal Szumlas is a young, emerging artist coming from a family with strong artistic traditions: his great-grandfather Antoni Kielar studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, and his father Krzysztof Szumlas is a professional interior designer, painter, and conservator of sacral art. His mother, Anna Paleczek-Szumlas, has been running the Municipal Art Gallery in Czestochowa for many years. The other part of his family was talented in mathematics and science. Scientific fascinations are also visible in the artist’s work, e.g., in the Antigravity series – large-format ceramic sculptures referring to the Möbius strip, or in the Progression series, inspired by the energy and its transformations.
As Michal Szumlas says about himself: “I draw inspiration from nature when creating and designing spatial forms. I observe the world and analyze the rules that govern it – the principles of physics, chemistry, and biology. The material world perceived by the eye exists as a collection of three-dimensional forms and shows the relationships between them undergoing constant transformation and evolution. I am close to the mathematical principles of infinity analysis – the interpretation of the Möbius strip and the Fibonacci order. The world that surrounds us is constantly vibrating and expanding according to strictly defined patterns. These rules are a constant creative inspiration for me.”
