WITOLD ZANDFOS
Born in Warsaw in 1938, Witold Zandfos is a professional architect. He studied Architecture at the Warsaw University of Technology and painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, where he was a student of Professor Bohdan Urbanowicz. Since 1963, he has lived and worked in Paris.
His primary professional focus has been architecture. From 1965 to 1971, together with architects Jan Karczewski and Michel Lefebvre, he created the group MIASTO, conducting research on futuristic forms for utopian cities of the future. Their work has been the subject of numerous publications and exhibitions across Europe, as well as participation in many architectural competitions. In 1965, he received the 1st prize at the Biennale in Paris and the Grand Prix d’Architecture et d’Urbanisme in Cannes (1969 and 1970).
From 1971 to 1983, Zandfos worked as an urban planner on the construction of New Towns in the Paris region, and in 1983, he opened his own independent architectural studio. Since then, he has built over 30 public buildings, several housing complexes, and new districts in various French cities. During the martial law period in Poland, he actively participated in the movement of Polish architects in France for the victims of repression, creating political posters.
Zandfos, whose interest in painting appeared at the age of 16, sporadically painted during his active architectural career, but returned to painting in the last 25 years. During this time, his works have been featured in numerous solo exhibitions in France and Poland, including at the Roi Doré Gallery in Paris (2010), the ZPAP Pryzmat Gallery in Kraków (2008), the University of Pierre et Marie Curie Gallery in Paris (2007), and the Roger Ikor Gallery in Frette-sur-Seine (2007). He also participated in the Peintres-Architectes group exhibition at the SARP Gallery in Warsaw (2008) and the SARP Gallery in Gdańsk (2011).
This talented painter and architect is also a collector of ethnic and “primitive” art, often drawing from these influences in his work, which has been exhibited at the Grand Palais in Paris (2019, 2020).
