Hesi Glowacki is a painter from Poland based in London, UK, who earned his BA in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, and now he is completing his MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art.
Hesi Glowacki’s work focuses on themes encompassing memory, otherness, and trauma, drawing from concepts of ritual and ceremony and notions of renewal and transformation. Glowacki confronts traditional boundaries of painting by using a broad range of materials – from pure pigments and crystals to textiles – spanning influences from personal experience, popular culture, queer narratives, and folklore.
Born in Poland, lives and works in London, United Kingdom
