Jacek Apostel was born in 1967 in Głogów, Poland, and has lived in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg since 1988 — a city that has shaped his art like no other place.

He has been painting and writing since childhood. Not one after the other, not side by side — but simultaneously, as if both were one and the same voice.

Since 1992 he has worked with oil and acrylic on canvas, today expanded through photography, digital processing and mixed media — a process that cannot be planned, but emerges from feeling.

His works ask questions that have no simple answers: about the relationship between humanity and nature, about memory and loss, about the contradictions of our time. They challenge the viewer — and leave no one untouched.

In his more recent works, Apostel opens himself to light: vibrant colors, bright surfaces, compositions that carry hope and optimism into the room.

In 2025 he was selected for the Carrousel du Louvre, Paris — an international recognition of an artistic journey spanning over 40 years. Since then his works have been shown worldwide: Art Expo Basel, Swiss Art Expo Zürich, Miami Art Weeks, ArtBox Expo New York — and most recently nominated for Expo Milano 2026.
