The roots of Fialkowski work is in Expressionism and New Figuration. His paintings reflect the postmodern era, and its characteristic concerns and attitudes capture the artist's emotional depth and his feeling for natural aspects of life.

Fialkowski completed Master’s Degree in 1979 from the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan in Poland. He worked on restoration of 17th and 18th century altarpieces throughout Churches in Poland and Italy and has exhibited extensively in Europe and Australia.

Bogdan Fialkowski was born in Poland in 1943.

In 1970, Fialkowski received Honorary Masters Degree in Fine Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts, Poznan in Poland.

Bogdan Fialkowski is a successful artist since 1974 based in Melbourne.

Bogdan Fialkowski has been exhibiting in Australia, Vatican, Italy, Poland and Germany and Switzerland.

For many years Fialkowski has been working in Italy restoring, repairing and reconditioning the valuable works of art in place of worship, cathedrals and basilicas.

Fialkowski paintings are characteristically full of texture, surprising colour and composition.

Inspired by the rich colours of the Australian landscape, Fialkowski adopted the pallete of ochre, yellow and red often contrasted with his favourite cearuleum and cobalt.

Fialkowski's fascination with female nude led to a huge collection that is both seductive and sensual. These nudes are carefully placed in mysterious and natural environments as in the landscape of their own.

There is a substantial shift in the artist work since the exhibition at "25 years in Australia". New form and composition become apparent, the attention to detail is distinctive.

New paintings are grouped, each telling a different story. "Symbiosis" family with its colours and twin composition are a suprising to the writing of a talein pictures.

"Storm" sequence seduces with background and detailed nudes in an extreme contrast of hues.

When compared with beautifully executed but somewhat conventional "Devil's Marbles", "Sunrise" lead's to the artist latter affair with the Australian landscape showing a level of maturity, expertise and confidence.

Here the artist investigates both typical Australian detial as well as the colour, the depth and the light of the desert.

The "Journey" sequence has the artist finally venturing into his vision of Australia. His penetrating eye decisively participates in the exploration of the landscape he now calls his own.
