Heartwarming patina

Welcome to a unique atelier in which merry handcrafted artworks are created, Popielnik: shrines, angels, birds, boxes, horses. Made mostly from old materials, polychromed with acrylic color and patinated, they expose the beauty of the wood and look as if they were found in the workshop of a youthful and generous woodcutter.





Popielnik is also an art gallery located in Kazimierz (a district of Cracow) and an online Etsy shop.

Robert Zakanitch (born 1935) is an American painter. While working in the Color Field he was strict to adhering to an abstract style inspired by Minimalism until he learned about decorative imagery. He kept the same color schemes and structures, but incorporated floral motif and a more painterly style.

Warm urban utopia

La ville transplantée


« Wandering, boats, horses. The ferryman who carries the message from one bank to another…»

« In Latin America there has been no revolution, only revolts. A form does not annihilate the next, it only adds to it. The past is not a burden against which we must always fight by dismissing it. So you see in my work a very loose reference to mythology, which leads to a more contemporary performance.»


– Alfredo Echazarreta


Living between France and Chili, the painter Alfredo Echazarreta was born in Santiago in 1945. Also printmaker and sculptor, he studied architecture and engraving.
