Lives and works in Paris. As an autodidact Tomek starts to try out his love of painting in the street.

Workers game: Pablo Tomek

Initially this happens through the graffiti that will decline all the energy, as the emphasis of its work: the tag becomes an active obsession. Anxious to retranscribe the characters, through the repetitiveness and spontaneity that this street discipline brought to him.
It reflects the now and the mediums approach to the artistic and pictorial research ranges from the daily newspaper to the city as a whole. Which if one choses this way of interaction with its surroundigs, has to be known in its entirety and in all its contemplations.



The practice of the “blanc de meudon” that is exploited by the artist in this last edition, is created by the alchemy between a forced hand which cleans, and a free hand which creates shown by the means of dependent frantic abstractions translation:
„Blanc de meudon“

The worker uses this water based chalk paint to hide from indiscreet gazes, spread out on the interior side of the windows he is working on, the tool he uses : the sponge. He applies it with energetic movements, fast and swift raw chalk, as if the backstage was disappearing behind this expressive opacity.
