Leslaw Pilcicki was born in 1946 in Konne-Poland.Member of the Association of Polish Artists and Designers. Great lover of nature, photographer and avid angler. Graduated from University of Technology (Poland) to a Masters Degree.

Pilcicki grew up and spent his young years in Konne, in harsh conditions of rural life in the forest. Daily struggles with the forces of nature, communing with the wild, but so unique and lovely nature of Konne (the vast valley of the Suprasl river, the bays, oxbow lakes, swamps, virgin forest and abundance of wildlife) helped him to see the beauty of the surrounding countryside and inspired him to in later work.

He is a painter of landscapes (on the dominant) who is interested in capturing the atmosphere, mood, and the transience of time. Pilcicki paints in various of techniques, but the most favourite is watercolour.Subject of his work is most often the closest to his heart Konne and surrounding landscape ,as well as Bialowieza Forest,rivers-Biebrza i Narew. Staunch enemy of urban chaos, in the bosom of nature, he finds peace and inspiration for his work.

Leslaw Pilciki is a prize laureate for watercolour, for example M.Stronski “Eastern Wall” 2000-02; member of many open-air painting and art exhibitions –individual and collective (inter alia in New York 1991-94); recently at the District Museum, Gallery “Spodki” and Philharmonic in Bialystok (Poland).

“Pilcicki is a thoroughbred watercolourist, who paints with a free hand and temperament.”/Sept’96

Zygmunt Ciesielski-Art Historian/Art Critic

“These works reflect the variation of colours and tones depending on the light, trailing the morning and evening of gray vapour ,with pallet which hasn’t been invented by any of the manufacturer.”/May 2009

„Prawie kazda jego akwarela jest jak muzyczna sonata i zasluguje na chwile uwagi...Bo to rzeczywiscie sztuka przywracajaca wiare w porzadek rzeczy,sztuka wnoszaca w rozkrzyczany swiat form i kolorow odrobine ukojenia.”/Czerwiec 1998 „Gazeta Wyborcza” po wystawie „Gosc Salonu.”
