Linocuts of Svalbard

by Zbigniew Jóźwik

Naturalist and bibliophile

Zbigniew Jóźwik is a self-taught linocut artist whose art blends fascination for nature, scientific interests for plants and biology, faith fostered by St Francis’ Canticle of the Creatures, and deep belief in humanity – all this against the backdrop of the summer landscapes of Svalbard and nature that surrounds us.

The world of the naturalist through the words of the graphic artist tells to ask: to what extent is the world a real entity?

-Sergiusz Riabinin, Lubin, March 1989
