ZYGMUND  JANKOWSKI, a remarkable artist known for his strong sense of color values was born in South Bend, Indiana. He has spent a lifetime as a painter and has explored many mediums, pushing them to their limits while searching for a more direct and immediate means of personal expression. He focuses on a subject and analyzes it through his brush and palette searching for the statement that best expresses his feeling for the moment. He states: "You stand as referee between the scene, you emotion and analysis. You goal is to experience a feeling of excitement from the first stroke to the last."
