Marcin Bondarowicz
By LatAm ARTE
Marcin Bondarowicz was born in 1976 in Starachowice, Poland. He is a professional Polish cartoonist and illustrator, he is also a specialized painter and photographer. He currently considers himself an independent artist. He regularly publishes cartoons of himself on various websites and contributes to a wide range of magazines and newspapers. Marcin Bondarowicz masters traditional techniques such as oil and acrylic painting, pencil drawing and digital graphic technologies such as digital manipulations. Marcin used to be a journalist, a position that gave him a critical look at world events and brought obvious social and political connotations to some of his creations. He specialized in press illustration, collaborating with the main Polish and international newspapers such as “Harvard Business Review” - Poland, “Manager Magazin” - Polish edition, “Business Week” - Polish edition, “Newsweek” - Polish edition, “Poland Monthly” and “Le Monde Diplomatique” - Polish edition. He won several international competitions receiving numerous awards and recognitions. He was a member of the jury of the international cartoon competition, for example in the First International Cartoon Competition "Molla Nasreddin" - Azerbaijan 2008, Third International Cartoon Competition “Don Quichotte” - "Languages of the World", III Cartoon Competition and Short Comic 2008 - Zikison. However, without denying the strong correlation with this institution, Marcin adds his own perception of the world, mixing surreal, anthropomorphic and organicographic ingredients with anachronistic references. It is not only the important manual skills and mastery of it that makes his art so particular, but also the strength of the artist's character. Most of his paintings deal with private events in his life and his personal artistic evolution, while generating an intimate horizontal dialogue with the viewer. It could be said that his work is highly individual and autobiographical but also universal, in the sense that its metaphorical content and existentialist message concern us all.
