Jerzy Nowosielski started his studies in 1940 at the Cracow's Kunstgewerbeschule. In 1942 spent nearly one year in the John â€Å¾the Baptist" Monastery (Lwow) studying history of Orthodox Church art (especially holy icons art). After the end of WW2 he continued his studies in Cracow's Academy under Professor Eugeniusz Eibisch. At the 1st New Art Exhibition in Cracow (1948/49), Nowosielski presented works based on geometric abstraction. In the socrealism period, he focused on church decorations, staying away from communist exhibition halls. In 1955 he held his first solo exhibition, and in 1956 he took part in the 28th Venice Biennale. In the late 1950s he established his famous style influenced by sacral art, mostly by the Eastern Orthodox Church. In 1976 he turned to monumental projects like Calvary stops and stained glasses designs in numerous churches. As an important Polish post-war artist, he is recognized especially for transferring sacral values into Polish modern art.
