Pawel Robert Jelenski
I am a marquetry artist using wood as a medium of expression. My work focuses on simple geometry, abstraction with elements of science fiction.
In my work I use natural components - solid depth wood blanks as a base, various veneers, mother of pearl, silver & gold, traditional hide glue and natural resin for a beautiful shiny/silk finish.
Outside the world of art, I work for people. I am co-founder and director of Norfolk Polonia CIC, the Polish minority support organisation in Norwich (UK), which runs the local West Earlham Community Centre.
In the past, I have worked in NGOs organisations, coordinated EU projects for young people (2007-2013) and worked as a cultural animator. I have been living in the UK for many years and have been a British citizen since 2022. I graduated from the Pedagogical University of Krakow (Poland, 2012) with a Master's degree in Fine Arts Education (Level 7 - recognised by UK ENIC) and the title of Visual Artist.
