Born in Lodz in 1933, self-taught artist. His contact with art began when he took a job of a caretaker in the Museum of Art in Lodz. Fascinated by the images he saw there, he decided to learn how to draw by copying masterpieces from the old masters' albums. Now he is a highly respected graphic artist, draughtsman and painter, and he has presented his works at numerous exhibitions in Poland and abroad. At the beginning of his artistic career he was fascinated with jazz, which was a common topic for him and Wieslaw Ochman. Later Plociennik started to work in series, which are the statement of all his inspiration – geometric avant-garde art, old masters and art history in general. He combines the rationalism of geometric forms with lyrical tales and mystical astrology. Between his mysterious planets and stars appear references from art history, such as ‘Leonardo’s horse’ or ‘Nike of Samothrace’. (http://www.adi-art.com/#!henryk-pciennik/c110i) undefined
