Leszek Michalski was born in Warsaw in 1960. At the age of 15, he began his artistic education in the Zachęta studio [national art gallery]. In 1979, he entered the Faculty of Game Design at the Academy of Industrial Design in Halle, Germany. In 1998, he turned to sculpture, working with metal.

He opts for brass and bronze which serve as the basic material for his small collections. He chooses atypical places to show his work: clubs, basements, industrial spaces, in the open air where he creates a special relationship between reality, sculpture and the viewer. In 2002 he was awarded the diploma of “creator of Polish culture”.

Leszek Michalski now teaches sculpture workshops in Warsaw.
