Piotr Gorka

Piotr Gorka was born in Kraków, Poland, and went on to study Graphic Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in his home town. As a young student, he began his career designing graphic projects and illustrating books. After graduating, Piotr then illustrated for advertising agencies and publishing houses designing many book covers and commercial posters. Towards the end of the 1980s the character of Piotr’s work had gradually changed and he turned almost exclusively to oil paintings devoted to the history of aviation during WW II. These paintings have featured in many exhibitions across Poland and Europe and can be found in embassies, museums and in private collections around the world.

Piotr has established himself as the leading Polish aviation artist, and presently he is the only aviation artist in Poland producing limited edition prints.
