FIVE MINUTES WITH JAN BUCZNY

A love of fantasy encouraged this artist to create his own worlds

Where did your artistic journey start?

My artistic journey began with learning to draw and studying architecture. At first, I was drawn to structure, composition and the logic behind buildings. But when I started painting with watercolours, I realised that what truly excited me wasn't becoming an architect - it was the act of creating images and atmosphere. Over time, that passion evolved and found a new medium. Eventually, Unreal Engine became my canvas, allowing me to combine structure with emotion and build worlds rather than just design them.

As a young artist, were there worlds, in movies, comics or art, for example, that gave you a desire to create your own?
