Art plays a vital role in creating social change; art tells a story that can alter and positively influence people’s futures and opinions.

Pav Szymanski MA Fine Art Digital with distinction (UAL), BPhil (Ed) (EXON), Cert Ed (EXON)

Painter & Lecturer

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 work serves as a journey of inner exploration, revealing my fears, desires, and uncertainties so that I may reassess them. Through painting, I examine my responses to the concealed realities of existence—those truths we sense but struggle to articulate.

The value of these works lies in their atmospheric quality and symbolic resonance. I employ subdued lighting and evocative colour to create spaces of contemplation, where meaning emerges gradually from shadow. My aim is to explore inner darkness so that understanding may surface through creative expression, allowing both myself and viewers to encounter what has remained hidden.
