Roman Lipski

When Roman Lipski emigrated to West Berlin in 1989 he was just twenty years old – a shy young man from the small town of Nowy Dwór in the north of Poland. Lipski was running away from hopelessness and an unavoidable training at a technical college. He wanted to flee from the confines of a small town and realise his dreams in the big wide world. He had scarcely arrived in Berlin when he took up a paintbrush in his hand for the very first time at the age of 21. Today he is an important artist whose work has been shown in many exhibitions in Germany and Poland. His works can be seen in galleries and museums all over the world and even enrich the collection in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
