skar Derych, visual and sound artist, art historian and former Vice-Rector for Development at the European Academy of Arts, lives and works in Warsaw. His works have been presented at prestigious exhibitions and displays in key European cultural centers, including Venice, London, and Zurich. His art attracts the attention of collectors seeking authentic, moving narratives and deep emotional engagement in contemporary painting. Something more than decoration matching curtains or a TV frame. The works of Oskar Derych have found a place among collectors in Amsterdam, Paris, Bruges, London, Hobro, The Hague, and Warsaw. The artist rejects the pursuit of unnatural, contemporary perfection. His exploration is devoted to discovering imperfection, broken connections, and transgression as the ultimate form of expression. The rejection of academic manners is rooted in the aesthetics of error, raw style. Strangeness, intentional error, and imperfection are perceived not as flaws, but as allies of authenticity. Scars and traces of life are the truest reflection of our struggles. In his work, he does not limit himself to a single style or character of painting; he freely explores and chooses his style to suit the presented theme. He also works in series dedicated to a specific order and conceptual subject and structure. I believe true beauty lies in imperfection and authenticity. I reject the fleeting allure of polished, instant beauty and instead celebrate the raw, unfiltered stories that shape us. Life leaves its mark on each of us—on our bodies, our minds, and our souls. These marks, these scars, are the truest reflections of our journeys, struggles, and triumphs. The real beauty is born from resilience, authenticity, and the marks life leaves on us all. let your scars speak of the value only time, struggle, and individuality can create.
