Kacper Bozek

Kacper Bozek

The artist was born in 1974 in Cracow. He graduated from the Kenar Visual Arts School in Zakopane and the Graphic Department of the Krakow Academy of Fine Arts, where he produced his final graduation work under Prof. Stanisław Wejman's protection in the Copper Engraving and Lithography Studio. His media are printmaking and drawing. The universal characters of Mikhail Bulgakov’s novel became for Kacper Bożek a starting point for a meticulous, three-year-long effort crowned with a dozen prints made in various techniques (etching, aquatint, mezzotint, soft varnish), which together make up The Master and Margarita portfolio. These amazingly intricate, high-precision prints are populated with a host of Bulgakov’s characters, at the same time capturing in a most synthetic way the key moral issues that permeate the novel.
