Mariusz Lewandowski was a Polish surrealist painter born in 1960 in Działdowo, northeastern Poland. He became known for haunting oil paintings filled with symbolic figures, vast dreamlike landscapes, and apocalyptic moods drawn from his inner world and the natural surroundings of Warmia and Masury. Lewandowski deliberately refused to explain his work, offering only titles and leaving meaning entirely to the viewer, believing art was strongest when discovered personally.
From 2017 onward, his paintings reached a wider audience through album covers for metal bands such as Bell Witch, eventually appearing on dozens of releases, including projects linked to Sony Music Entertainment. His imagery also crossed into skate culture through a limited collaboration with Zero Skateboards in 2021. Lewandowski passed away in July 2022, leaving behind a body of work defined by technical mastery, layered symbolism, and a lasting commitment to mystery.
