About
The idea of creating the posters-souvenirs comes from my travel experience, observations and desire to promote Poland. I wanted to inform people about the Polish values, heritage and some of the important things that Poles are proud of. I reckon that the graphics I am presenting are interesting, attractive and describe the Polish legacy in a creative way.
You may be wondering why posters? The answer is simple. A poster is like a “graphic message”. It can easily grab attention as it is eyes catching and it can convey information very quickly and concisely. In my opinion, a poster is the perfect way to promote a country, especially a country with such a great poster design history as Poland has.
There are various themes of my POSTERS FROM POLAND so I grouped them into series, so far: Poland, Warsaw, Cracow, Gdansk, Wroclaw and Lublin. There is also a vast variety of styles of the graphics from the numerous artists who I have invited to work on this project. Things that unify my posters are the authors talent, youth and their fresh perspective on art.
Enjoy browsing the posters and visit shops with my original souvenirs from Poland.
