Sainer, i.e. Przemysław Blejzyk, was born in Łódź in 1988. He received international acclaim even before graduating from his studies in the Strzemiński Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź. Together with Mateusz Gapski – Bezt – with whom he formed a duo called Etam Cru, the artist produced several dozen murals all over the world. His large-format paintings located in urban spaces are marked by an original style inspired by the aesthetics of the comic book, illustration, anime and classical painting. Elaborated with a large dose of detail, the figures immersed in the colourful world of magic realism have gained popularity and become a model willingly copied in muralism. In 2016, tired with the creation of minutely detailed portraits, in search of new challenges, the artist turned towards landscapes and outdoor painting.

The exhibited objects originate from the collections of Przemysław Blejzyk, Dictador Art Masters, Paweł Kita, a private collection, and the collections of the National Museum in Gdańsk. It is available in National Museum in Gdańsk (Department of Modern Art in the Abbots’ Palace in the Oliwa Park) until October 22, 2023.
