Biography:
Pav Szymanski has dedicated over 30 years to the fine art of painting. His current research project centres on exploring visual responses to observations of individuals seemingly trapped in repetitive, hypnotic patterns of existence. Extensive travel to interview and document those genuinely struggling with survival in their societal contexts allowed him to gather substantial primary sources and evidence from across the globe. Perhaps the most impactful findings emerged from trips to Haiti, Burundi and Myanmar, inspiring spectacular new paintings.
These paintings have motivated him to develop innovative approaches to image-making befitting the subject matter. He combines the power of traditional mastery with contemporary thought and deep reflection.
He works full-time as a Program Coordinator for Art & Design at a large institution offering diverse Further and Higher Education qualifications. His expertise is recognised through appointments as an external examiner at prestigious institutions like the University of The Arts, London and the Academic Qualifications Alliance.
Awards including the International Vision Collector’s Award and the Contemporary Art Curator Magazine’s Power of Creativity Art Prize highlight his contributions.
Entering the peak of his career, his commitment to original artistic vision and tireless drive inspire younger generations of artists. His name has become synonymous with fearless innovation and creative brilliance in the world of fine art and digital. The future remains bright for this painter whose global travels inform his striking, socially-conscious works.

Artist Statement:
My project serves as a journey of inner exploration, revealing my fears, desires, and uncertainties so that I may reassess them. I use my work to metaphorically probe and interrogate my reactions to the concealed realities of the world around me. The essence of the value of these works is in their inherent meaning and an atmosphere, which manifests itself in the dusk of the space portrayed, thus the light may appear, where the hue of colour fulfils clarity and sounds with harmonious melody.
I utilise my art as a means to delve into my innermost thoughts and emotions, questioning and prodding at my response to the hidden truths of the world and our existence. The value of these works resides in their symbolic meaning and atmospheric quality, using subdued lighting, evocative colour, and musical harmony to shed light on that which lies in the darkness. My aim is to explore my inner shadows so that understanding may surface through my creative expressions.
