Broda Tomasz

In 1992 he graduated from the State Higher School of Visual Arts in Wrocław (now the Academy of Art and Design).

I draw, illustrate, make puppets and masks from everyday objects, by means of which I become similar to other people. From 'Rubens to Picasso' is the title of my own interpretation of art history. In the autobiographical cartoon entitled 'What have you painted' I describe art education in Poland from a nursery school kid to a lecturer at the Academy of Art and Design, and in my book entitled "Bookface. The book of writers' faces" I impersonate literary classics in social media.
