The Warsaw Renaissance is an artistic project dedicated to recreating the pre-war appearance of Poland’s capital through artworks made using charcoal on canvas beneath a layer of acrylic. It brings the historical architecture, streets, and everyday life of old Warsaw back to memory, combining documentary precision with the artist’s personal interpretation.
