Grzegorz "Cheeba" Walus - graduated from art studies in 2001.with a master's degree, as an alumnus of painting professors Alexander Dimitrovich and Nikola Naskov. The artist presented his paintings at Supamolly and Waterhouse in Berlin in 2015, Metis Gallery and Reservoart in Bali, at the Swab Barcelona Art Fair in 2017, Soho Gallery in Sydney and at Cosmoproof 2018 in Hong Kong, among others.The artist also has three solo exhibitions in Wroclaw.
In 2019, the artist settled in Bali, where he painted some of the paintings that make up the "WY$PY" and " Holy Water" series containing inspirations from Balinese religion and culture. Gregory Walus' paintings are a multicolored mosaic of symbols and layers. They often refer to the work of colorists, where color becomes more important than construction and determines the mood of the work. The religion of "holy water," considered the most colorful religion in the world, becomes a means of artistic expression and is contained in religious symbols appearing on the canvases or mantras depicted in the increasingly rare Sanskrit. In his compositions on canvas, the artist is not afraid of opposites, bringing about surprising harmonies between warm and cool colors, often interpenetrating each other.
