Poish Artist Jacek Yerka has a remarkable collection of work. A selection of his work is shown here, however his more can be seen and bought on his personal site.

Born in Poland in 1952, JACEK YERKA studied fine art and graphics prior to becoming a full-time artist in 1980. While at university, Yerka resisted the constant pressures of his instructors to adopt the less detailed, less realistic techniques that characterize so much of contemporary art. Instead, he stubbornly continued to work in the classic, meticulous Flemish style he still favors to this day.In the end, it was his teachers who eventually relented, finally recognizing their determined student as a brilliant (although troubling) talent.
