IV. The Emperor // Tymek Borowski
world of matter, Earth, order, hierarchy, responsibility, structure, work for the future
The Emperor card speaks of responsibility and maturity, it mobilizes you to take on a challenge, do the work and take care of the future today. The Emperor symbolizes the archetypal father, giving structure, caring for the weak, protecting what is still growing up. He is associated with values such as emotional stability, appeal to his own authority, setting boundaries, and forward-thinking. It is supported by the motto: a strong structure is a secure future. The card with the number four suggests that visionary leadership is not an easy path at first, but it is worth undertaking because of the long-term consequences. It reinforces a strong will and can mean a promotion, but also excessive ambition.
Tymek Borowski (born 1984) - painter, photographer, video, and animation artist. He graduated in painting in 2009 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, in Prof. Leon Tarasewicz's studio. In the early years of his artistic work, he was involved in creating surrealistic paintings referring to Polish abstract painting of the second half of the 20th century and other aesthetics of the time, such as Tachisme or matter painting. From the beginning, his artistic activities have gone beyond the traditionally understood painting. In his art, he combines figurative and abstract forms and uses digital and traditional media. Together with Rafał Dominik and Katarzyna Przezwańska, he co-managed the experimental graphic studio Czosnek (eng. Garlic), which combines advertising with artistic activities. Together with Paweł Śliwiński, he founded the Herostrates - Internet gallery which exhibited works by non-existent artists. Together with Paweł Sysiak he founded Billy Gallery, where they created animations explaining how the art market works and describing the situation of a contemporary artist (for example movie How Art Works?). Winner of the 2013 Views Audience Award - Deutsche Bank Foundation Award and Polityka's Passport for 2015, his work has been exhibited in over a dozen solo exhibitions and dozens of group exhibitions - both in Poland and abroad. He has now returned to painting - he creates amorphous compositions and abstract portraits of well-known personalities. He belongs to the "new realists" trend. He lives and works in Warsaw.
