Krzysztof Witold Skórczewski (b. Krakow 1947) studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow (1965-1971) and at the Royal College of Art in Stockholm (1976). He is a member of the International Association of Wood Engravers XYLON in Switzerland and the Club of Laureates of the International Biennial of Printmaking in Cracow. In 1975-1978 he stayed in Stockholm, then returned to Cracow. In his works, usually of small format, he evokes images as if from a dream. They affect the viewer's imagination all the more strongly because they are executed with unparalleled technical mastery. The artist has won prizes at the 4th and 11th International Biennial of Graphics, Krakow 1972 and 1986, the prize of the Society of Friends of Albertina, Vienna 1972, first prize at the 2nd International Graphics Festival, Menton 1989 and many others. He works in printmaking (linocut 1971-76, since 1976 mainly copperplate) and applied graphics, drawing, painting.
