Opening of the exhibition "Piotr Piotrowski - painting on glass"

Piotr Piotrowski was born in 1948 in Nowy Sącz, he graduated from the 1st Secondary School. J. Długosz, and then in 1968-73 he studied ethnography at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. The choice of his field of study was partly related to his passion for mountains and hiking in the Beskids, which he had been devoted to with great pleasure since his school years. In the years of his youth, the village of Nowy Sącz was not much different from today's open-air museums. While wandering around the Beskids, you could see interesting old architecture at every step; cottages, barns, forges, granaries, cellars, etc. objects, but also very picturesque ancient chapels with old folk sculptures and paintings. Such Beskid "atmospheres" stimulated the young man's ethnographic and artistic imagination.
