Marek Piechowski – Courtyard with Lemons on a Table
Courtyard with Lemons on a Table
Marek Piechowski (Polish, b. 1969)
Acrylic on canvas
This evocative painting captures the sunlit serenity of a Provençal courtyard, where vibrant lemons rest upon a rustic table, set against the backdrop of dappled shadows and timeworn stone walls. Piechowski’s use of bold, geometric forms and a rich palette imbues the scene with both warmth and structure, reflecting the harmonious balance between nature and architecture characteristic of the French countryside.
Born in 1969, Marek Piechowski is a Polish artist renowned for his modernist geometric paintings and abstractions. A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow in 1994, he studied under Zbyslaw Maciejewski and was notably influenced by David Hockney during his formative years. Piechowski’s work is celebrated for reviving the spirit of colorism, a movement emphasizing the expressive potential of color, which he embraced during his time at the Academy in the early 1990s.
Ideal for those seeking to bring a touch of Mediterranean warmth and modernist flair to their living space, this piece serves as a timeless reminder of leisurely afternoons and the simple pleasures of life in the French countryside.
