Tanks

In spite of their mass and intimidating look, tanks is a charming theme for an artist. Creating  illustrations of those heavy looking vehicles brings about a lot of opportunities. It’s much easier to incorporate a tank in a landscape than it is to do so with aircraft. Thanks to that, the scenery makes an impression of greater abundance of elements than an aviation painting.

The “Uniforms used by Polish Armored Forces 1919-2019” exhibition

In 2018 I was asked by the Poznan Museum of Armament to design and prepare 12 backgrounds for an exhibition related to the history of the uniform worn by soldiers of the Polish armored forces in the years 1919-2019.

Each board is 180x180cm and presents the type of tank used by the Polish army in a given period.

Because of the nature of the exhibition and the size of the boards, I decided to depict the frontal view of the tanks, all of them in motion, and each without tank crews.
