Tomasz Karabowicz graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw in 1997.

Tomasz Karabowicz is a realist, but his "reality" is altered by subtle changes in color, geometry or perspective. He is not a fan of the hyper-realistic paintings of the 19th century. Rather, he is drawn to the larger philosophy of painting the world in its real sense, which he describes as "a platform of European art since the Renaissance."

His distortions draw our attention to the details we might otherwise have overlooked, and thereby accentuate our perception of the reality he tries to capture. He is fascinated with the inherent order of natural things. His paintings cause us to wonder whether the order we see in them is natural or the result of the artist's own manipulations. The location of the objects he paints often seem determined not by the artist, but by the objects themselves.

Karabowicz lives and paints in rural Karczunek, in the eastern part of Poland.
