Rafał Stanula

Rafal Stanula (b. 1991) is a Polish figurative painter living and working in Cracow, Poland. He is self-taught painter which took his first steps learning from such painters as Andrew Tishler, Mark Carder and Daria Callie. He has been painting professionally since 2017 and he creates his works using oil technique. He specializes in portrait painting but his imagination sometimes "pushes him" towards figurative painting with surrealist themes. Currently he is focused on the female form, creates works depicting feminine beauty accompanied by delicate nudity and a hint of mystery. In latest paintings the painter focuses on simplicity in terms of composition and color. He considers the currently chosen style and subject matter to be something he has been looking for a long time. His works find buyers among private collectors all over the world.
