Bartłomiej Kiełbowicz

For several years now, I have been developing my work, which combines art and social engagement, in an intensive manner. My artworks, including paintings, drawings, murals and street performances, offer a personal perspective on contemporary political and social issues. Issues such as the defence of democracy, women’s rights, border control, climate change, and the wars in Ukraine and Gaza lie at the heart of my work. 

I regularly publish my drawings on Instagram and in the weekly magazine Polityka, enabling me to reach a wide audience. I also work in urban spaces, where my banners and murals contribute to a collective voice of protest and solidarity. 

I work intensively, often reacting to current events, which lends my art emotional sincerity and relevance but also takes a heavy psychological toll. Working with sensitive topics makes me increasingly aware of the need to maintain balance and calm, enabling me to continue on this path with renewed vigour. 

I carry out most of my projects independently, investing my own funds and time. I am currently at a stage where I want to organise my work more clearly, update my documentation, refresh my website, and consider the future direction of my development, including its presence in private and public collections.
