Too Dee: Drawings by Nathan Pietrykowski

Nathan Pietrykowski

Drawing is my magical power. It allows me to reexamine the past, foretell the future or travel to places unseen. In my current body of work, I have invented an imaginary universe to explore creation. As I continue to build this paracosm, I gain a deeper perspective of my role as an artist, the purpose of creating, and the origins of the universe. My work chronicles the history of a surreal cosmos. This world stems from my unconscious mind and the absurd tales and theories of cosmology and various mythologies.
