Adam Wątor born in 1970 in Myślenice. He studied in the atelier of Professor Włodzimierz Kunz at the Faculty of Painting of the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków from 1992 to 1997. His work focuses on the topic of human emotions. Special attention is paid to the hands of the figures he depicts, searching for hidden meanings in the language of their gestures. He has participated in Polish and international exhibitions, including at Bennett Galleries Nashville (2017), the Musical Theatre in Gdynia (2022) and the Olympic Centre in Warsaw (2023). In 2005, he was awarded first place in the ‘Huile’ gallery competition in Zillisheim, France. His works can be found in private collections both in Poland and in Germany, Norway, Sweden and the USA.

"One of my favorite sources of inspiration is the human form, especially the female figure. In my works, I often consciously avoid depicting faces. A face is tied to a specific person, whereas I am interested in the human being in a general sense. I try to express emotions and feelings through the body, particularly through subtle gestures. I pay a lot of attention to hands, which I find to be an ideal medium for emotions. In my opinion, this provides as strong a message as emotions expressed through facial expressions."
