Am I making this up? No, I’m just remembering
- Jakub Matusewicz
- (born 1999) a painter, maker of objects and installations. He graduated from a fine arts secondary school in Poznań. In 2022, he defended his BA thesis entitled Odbicie. Co widzi obraz? [Reflection. What does the painting see?] at the Faculty of Painting and Drawing, the Magdalena Abakanowicz University of Arts in Poznań, in the atelier of Prof. Wojciech Gorączniak.
