Foi em Turek, na Polónia, que Bezt nasceu. Estávamos em 1987. Conheceu Sainer em Łódź, onde frequentou a Academia de Belas Artes. Começaram a pintar juntos e criaram o grupo Etam Cru. Bezt é especializado em frescos e tem criado muitas obras em locais públicos - geralmente as fachadas de edifícios escuros e cinzentos são as telas que elege. Atualmente, divide o seu tempo a viajar pela Europa com Sainer para participarem em festivais de streetart, a produzir o seu trabalho e em exposições individuais. É considerado uma das figuras mais interessantes na esfera polaca, algo que deve à forma peculiar com que interpreta o graffiti. Bezt dá primazia à criação de narrativas como forma de transmitir a mensagem esperada, deixando em segundo plano os vários materiais que mistura. O seu traço único e as cores fortes que escolhe tornam-no num artista pitoresco. Segue temas florais, folclóricos, usa a imagem feminina e animal e cria, assim, com metáforas o simbolismo que pretende imprimir na sua arte. Há quem diga que são de outro mundo, as suas obras fantásticas, míticas e sonhadoras.

Turek, Poland, was where Bezt was born, in 1987. He met Sainer at Łódź, where they attended the Fine Art Academy and together they created the Etam Cru group. Bezt is particularly specialized in frescoes and has released a large number of public works usually on facades of dim and gray buildings.At the current moment, Bezt splits his time between traveling around Europe together with Sanier to paint murals at a variety of street art festivals and producing his individual work and exhibiting solo shows. The peculiar take on representation in graffiti art in the work of Bezt has made him perhaps one of the most interesting figures within the Polish scene. The fine drawing, distinct coloring, and overall approach to the surface reflect the artist’s high painterly domains. Regardless of the media, Bezt invests tremendous efforts in creating strong narratives which should deliver the certain message. Nevertheless, Bezt’s solo works are inseparable from his activity within the Etam Cru. The artist handles several media at once, but primarily he’s an illustrator, muralist, and painter. The employment of floral motifs, animals and woman portraits is interwoven with metaphors and symbols often borrowed from local folklore. Although his works strive for realism, they are still maintained in a characteristic style sourced from graffiti. At the same time, the artist very often juxtaposes representational and deconstructive geometric elements. The contrasting colors separate the figures from the background perfectly enabling the observer to see the composition beautifully. Fantastical, perhaps mythical or even dreamy, there are those who consider that Bezt’s work is something from out of this world.
