Beksinski' s work make you think. He combined beauty, horror and human fears to create something that captivates our attention and mind. The hairs on my neck went straight before I reached the end of the first page, yet I continued to the end of the list(as many of the other pandas did for sure) because there's something about these pictures' dark style that make you wish to see more no matter how terrified you are.

See the movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5936692/?ref_=nv_sr_1

If Beksinski wants to re-torture himself with such unpleasant imagery, guess that's up to him. Me, have similar dreams, but do my best to leave them behind & forget them.

Beksiński painted for throw out self his thougs during his ilness( he had schizophrenia and he knew it) I'm fascinated his paining very early because my father's family home are in Sanok. I remeber as one day touched his stone paint because i couldn't belive this was only paint...I very recommend to see his pieces of art which are available in old castle in Sanok!

I think these are beautiful, and also creepy. It takes a true artist to create something that truly gets under someones skin and makes them feel fear, and emotion.

I've seen the one where hes walking through the tall cliffs number 8. i like that one.

half of the people in their comments are saying either this is scaring them , or he needs to get helps x) but i don't think so , this guy is a genius , he has a perfect memory and he draws with precision , he not only artistically genius , he's a prodigy and his brain is a treasure , he should be appreciated and applauded for the work he's doing , what he paints and the ways he paints it is so unique , so unique that no one actually did this before , i love his work and i would love to see more. It's so amazing and breath taking , his dreams are so mystical and beautiful even if they're dark , but then again , darkness is what makes an artist who he truly is.

Thank you very much for posting these. I got so impressed that I decided to book a trip and visit the exhibition in Sanok.

what kind of dreams does this guy have to get inspired for his paintings?

I wonder if he is channeling images that are in the collective Mind of the Polish zeitgeist. If these aren't products of his own consciousness operating at a deep level, then perhaps his vision is penetrating deeper than his own mind?

Is anyone familiar with Count Alfred Habdank Skarbek Korzybski ([kɔˈʐɨpski]; July 3, 1879 – March 1, 1950)? This is Wiki's first paragraph on him but I see some connection between him and Beksinski or at least how looking at what Korzybski says about human thought would be helpful in trying to understand Beksinski: (He) was a Polish-American independent scholar who developed a field called general semantics, which he viewed as both distinct from, and more encompassing than, the field of semantics. He argued that human knowledge of the world is limited both by the human nervous system and the languages humans have developed, and thus no one can have direct access to reality, given that the most we can know is that which is filtered through the brain's responses to reality. His best known dictum is "The map is not the territory".

Dint evoke much except a little gloom...yes we all have skills in our head which appear once the skin and flesh decompose. .move on feed the poor

Creepy but very artistic

It's sad that this truly talented artist died in...a robery. 2 guys broke to his house, killed him and stole...about 100 dollars and vhs player. Sounds like a joke but it's true :-(

Con tanta belleza que existe a nuestro alrededor, pienso que hay que estar un poco mal espiritual y mentalmente para realizar este tipo de pintura.

This is one hell of a disturbed artist

If you click through these, they're all the stuff of nightmares. All is fine, until you get to image #32, which you need to click that you're over 18 to view. Click, and shock, the image shows boobs. How ridiculous can our society get?

I sure don't have dreams anywhere near like that.

The paintings remind me of how hell was pictured in the movie Constantine. Great and interesting work!

I still remember when I first saw an album with his paintings in the local bookstore as a young child, love him since then.

There is a name for this type of art, surrealism.

OMGosh most of his work shown here is beyond horrifying to me. This man must have been tortured when he slept. To actually experience visions like these is downright anguish for the normal person to even imagine!
