Portfolio of Artwork by Andrew Kolasinski

All contents copyright © Andrew Kolasinski

 My paintings are most often executed  in acrylic or watercolours. I find inspiration in nature, and in the evolution of culture. My three dimensional works are usually influenced by the monuments of ancient civilizations.

I'm always looking to make my next dramatic, creative breakthrough, and strive always to maintain an original approach.

In the 1980s I exhibited in the Ottawa area. Recently my work has shown and sold in Kelowna, Victoria,  and Nanaimo B.C.
