Tadeusz Gapiński dedicated his life to painting. It was a hard life, on which the disease has left it's mark. In childhood, thanks to his mother, he discovered the beauty of this world and he learned to observe nature closely. Through continual capturing secluded places and changing landscapes of his hometown (Toruń, Poland) he became an important part of it. His work is an antidote to loneliness, escape into the world of memories and nostalgia, longing for a better life and happy childhood moments.

Jakub Wawrzak (b. 1989 in Torun) graduated from the Nicolaus Copernicus University, Department of Fine Arts, Art Education in the field of fine arts, Intermedia and Multimedia (2013). In 2014 he started his job as an assistant in the Department of Visual Arts at the University of Technology and Life Sciences in Bydgoszcz. In 2017 he got a position as assistant in the Department of Graphic Art at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun. In 2018 he received his PhD degree in fine arts (NCU). In his art-research project he investigates the phenomenon of reception of diorama.
