Jacek Yerka is a Polish surrealist painter from Toruń. He mixes his memories from his amazing childhood and creates some beautiful, inspiring paintings, which are exhibited in Poland, Germany, Monaco, France, and the United States, and may be found in the museums of Poland.
Yerka cites Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Bruegel, Cagliostro, Jan van Eyck, and Hugo van der Goes as formative influencers of his work. His subject matter ranges from odd beasts to whimsical landscapes incorporating extraordinary architecture, and include imagery gleamed from his childhood.
His works resemble to me the ones from Vladimir Kush another surrealistic painter I've already talked about on this blog, but I also find that the particular magic evoked by his paintings share something in common with the imaginary of Hayao Miyazaki, the famous manga artist and anime director.
Take a magic journey in this gallery which is a brief selection of some water-related paintings and do not forget to visit Yerka’s website here.
