Leszek Skurski

Leszek Skurski (*1973, Gdańsk, Poland) is a painter based in Germany. He studied painting from 1992 to 1997 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk.

Skurski’s work explores figurative situations shaped by reduction, tension, and moments of pause. His paintings often depict states in which movement appears suspended and space becomes a carrier of psychological and emotional density. Figures, gestures, and settings are reduced to essential elements; open surfaces and restrained color palettes play a central role in his compositions.

In the mid-1990s, Skurski received the Polish State Prize for Painting. Since then, his work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions, largely in an international context. His paintings are represented in private as well as public collections.
