Mr. Pala completed his studies a the Academy of Fine Arts in
Cracow in 1992. He moved to Warsaw in 1995, where he quickly
became the darling of the nascent Warsaw ex-patriot community. His
work adorns several popular restaurants and clubs in Warsaw and is
included in numerous personal and corporate collections. In 1998,
Mr. Pala moved to Miami, Florida, where he now lives with his wife
and two children. He describes his move to Miami as "an accident,"
but he found its environment an ideal match for his love of color
and vibrancy in all its forms. Wojciech Tuleya writes that Pala's
paintings "on that side of the ocean have a special
perspective translucent, full of warmth and with a different
atmosphere than the one we know [from his paintings in Poland]. In
the bright sunlight of Miami, Pala's paintings have become even
purer, brighter. Even more dominated by yellows, orange and blue.
They are like looking at the sun. Only the most prominent shapes
can be seen. The rest seems lost in a luminous glow."
In his 10-year career, Pala has been featured in dozens of solo
exhibitions, including three at the Galeria Art in Warsaw,
numerous other exhibitions in Polish cities, and exhibitions in
the U.S., France, Finland, the Netherlands and Germany.
