He worked as artist, painter, graphic designer, illustrator, and poster creator. He resides and works in France. In his youth, Andrzej Malinowski drew inspiration from the works of Vermeer and Rembrandt. In 1973, he graduated from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts in the Illustration Department. After obtaining his diploma, he moved to Paris, where he continues to live and create. In 1982, he was granted French citizenship. During the initial period of his stay in France, Malinowski was engaged in artistic direction, creating audiovisual presentations, television programs, graphics, illustrations, and posters. During this time, he won awards in the field of posters and illustrations. In 1977, he received the First Prize for the poster for the film The Exorcist at the Deauville Film Festival, as reported, among others, by French newspaper Le Parisien. Andrzej Malinowski collaborated with the most prominent film directors. Those include: Andrei Tarkovsky (Nostalghia, 1983), Jerzy Skolimowski (Success Is the Best Revenge, 1984), Andrzej Wajda (The Possessed, 1988), Luc Besson (The Big Blue, 1988), Paolo and Vittorio Taviani (Il sole anche di notte, 1989), Kenneth Branagh (Henry V, 1989), Bernardo Bertolucci (The Sheltering Sky, 1990), Jean-Jacques Beineix (IP5: L'île aux pachydermes, 1992, Mortal Transfer, 2001). The artist gained international recognition for his movie poster for The Big Blue, directed by Luc Besson, for which Malinowski received a Cesar Award nomination in 1989 from the French Academy of Arts and Film Techniques. "Nostalgia has a significant influence on the artist's work. Everything that surrounds us from early childhood, memories not only of the beautiful moments but also the painful ones, shapes our personality." — Malinowski, interview for the quarterly magazine Artysta i Sztuka. Andrzej Malinowski served as the president of various French artistic organizations, including being the head of the jury for the competition "Le plus beau dessin pour le Planétarium" in Paris. In the 1980s, he created covers and graphics for the French magazine L'Express and major newspaper Le Monde. He was the head of the jury for the National "Film Poster" Competition of the French group Caisse d'Epargne. From 1983 to 1986, he was the vice president of the French Illustrators' Union. Since 1986, Malinowski has been a member of the jury for the most important French film award competition, the César Awards.
