There is a reason that the artistic output of Jarosław Kukowski is connected with surrealism. The aesthetics of this trend is visible in many paintings by Kukowski. The artist often puts unrealistic personages into a realistic scenery or he reverses the situation by putting people in a distant, fantastic landscapes
A few cycles composes the artistic output of Kukowski. One of these cycles are the ‘Un-dreams’ (‘Nie-sny’). These works are dominated by simplified persons reminding plasticised creatures, sometimes they transform into obscure anthropomorphic monsters or deformed embryos. 
Jarosław Kukowski with a photographic precision illustrates each detail in art gallery- drops flowing off the woman's body or refraction of light on the surface of the water. This idealized scene is maintained in a realistic, yet a bit – consciously – redrawn idea. The succulent colours intensify the idyllic character of the view.

One of the most remarkable and meaningful personages of world of art, not only in Poland, but also abroad is Jarosław Kukowski. This contemporary painter was born on 11 April 1972 in Tczew.
He presented his works for the first time in 1994 in the ‘CSW Stara Łaźnia’ gallery in Gdańsk. That year he exhibited three more times – in Starogard Gdański, Gdańsk and Skarszewy. In the following years he presented his paintings several times, for example in Warszawa in the ‘SD Art gallery
The essential feature of his work is a high level of workshop and using a painting effect called ‘trompe l’oeil’ (fr. – optical illusion). This illusionistic painting allows the painter not only to put an incredible reality to objects and people, but also to create depth of image. Three-dimensionality of representation and a precise elaboration of the smallest details allows the viewer to immerse in a different reality, almost touch it
