Piort Gorka , born 1958 in Krakow, Poland. He started his artistic career during the studies

at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow as an art graphic, making graphic projects and

illustrations for many books. After graduating, he continued working as an illustrator, cooperating

with advertising agencies and publishing houses. He is an author of many book covers and

turning to oil painting almost exclusively devoted to the history of aviation during WW II.

Piotr Gorka has presented his works at many exhibitions in Poland and Europe.

His paintings can be found in Polish diplomatic agencies, museums and in private collections

all over the world.

Within several years he has become a leading Polish aviation artist who, as the only one in

Poland, is editing his works in a form of artistic prints.

opportunity to discover the military history of aviation. Mr Gorka's offer is one of the most
