Krzysztof Ludwin was born in 1962 in Krakow. He is a Polish painter, watercolorist, architect and academic lecturer. In 1981-1987 he studied architecture at the Faculty of Architecture of the Cracow University of Technology, and then, in 1987-1988 at the Academy of Fine Arts at the Faculty of Industrial Forms.

The artist deals with easel painting, mainly watercolor. Painting on canvas, acrylic and oil paints, using a light resin - damar, obtains effects similar to watercolor painting. He developed his own style, which he calls "nervous expressionism." His paintings almost never lack architectural elements.

The prestigious French magazine Pratique des Arts ranked him among the 50 best contemporary watercolors. Krzysztof Ludwin Is the vice president of the Association of Polish Watercolors. He belongs to the Association of Polish Artists and the Association of Polish Architects. He lives and works in Krakow.

"I usually make a pencil or charcoal and chalk sketch to create a studio watercolor based on a black and white drawing. I often use such a painting to make an oil painting. I work quickly, nervously, under the influence of the rhythm of the music seeping from the space behind me. When painting, I sometimes turn off the light if it is evening to control the contrasts in the image. My lifestyle influences my painting. People I meet, everyday trouble, vulgarity, romanticism, melancholy, cynicism, fight for time to paint, for money for paintings, liters of green tea, from time to time alcohol (not as a compulsion but pleasure) self-discipline, tolerance for idiots, soft heart, love for women, their souls and bodies, conversations with fellow painters and architects, artists, exchange of experiences with them, etc."
