Jakub Pasierkiewicz

Jakub was born in 1980 in Poland and he graduated from the University of Silesia with a Masters in Fine Arts in 2005. 

He uses his camera to transfer and materialise the emotions, which develop in his mind, the excitement caused by encountered reality. Sometimes the photos can abstract from reality, showing different aspects of colours and forms, whereas other times they can simply reflect certain situations taking place in front of his camera.

Generally, his projects present an interpretation of the surrounding world and his personal experience. The main subjects of his photographs are opposites and harmony. We can witness those processes and factors everywhere: in nature or human behaviour. It takes sadness to know what happiness is, noise to value silence etc. This unity of opposites supports each other creating indissoluble connections. That's why looking on different aspects of compositions, subjects, colours, tones, textures we are able to name those contrasts and find 'the bridges' between those elements'.

Since he moved to England in 2006, he has exhibited his works mainly in Europe, India, the US and Canada, which include: The ING Discerning Eye (UK), 

PABA International Photo Competition (Pakistan), NOA (UK), Hiii Photography (China), The Indian Photography Festival IPF (India), Berlin Foto Biennale (Germany), MIFA Photography Awards (Russia).
