Born in Poland, Marek Zoltak considers painting a passion. As far back  as he can remember, he has always been drawing. In Cracow, where he studied architecture (master obtained in 1976) he developed a deep interest in palette knife.

This technique is predominant in his creativity since many years. For him the color and the light are the essential parts of painting. Within his works, architectural influence is still present however, the
discipline of forms and global impression which the artist places on his environment are much more delicate and subtle.

He is equally adept in both oil and watercolors. His paintings form part of numerous corporate and private collections in Canada, United States and Europe.
