Andrzej Borowski studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Warsaw, at the Departments of Graphics and Painting in the atelier of professor Zbyslaw Marek Maciejewski. In 1994, he was awarded the National Competition for the Best Landscape in Contemporary Painting (Cracow, 1994). His selected exhibitions include Colony, Nurnberg, Düsseldorf, Soolingen, Jever, Tilburg, Sandomierz, Warsaw, Frankfurt, Gandawa, Rzeszów, Strasbourg, Mallorca, New York and Bordeaux. "As Giorgio Vasari wrote five hundred years ago in his Lives of Artists, the painters owe Giotto Bondone as much as they own nature that is their model, and which most wonderful aspects they imitate. Andrzej Borowski is one of those privileged artists, who reach out for the traditions of Florence masters' fresco with total consciousness. By watching the great works of Toscanian art revolutionists, he learned humility against reality in its most timeless aspect. The relevance to nature, the objective beauty and remarkable harmony in Borowski's paintings is a legacy of the harbingers of Renaissance, similar to their finding of the long-forgotten values of classic arts. And here it emerges, among the noisy and full of chaos reality, in life and art, so much traditional yet fresh art radiating with beauty. Golden, Giotto-like third plans, warm sienna colors blended with decorative lines determine the continuity of art, which can remarkably renew itself, as the rebirth of man, every age is the tale of revival," writes Katarzyna Napiorkowska.
