"A leading Polish illustrator and poster artist. There is probably no other artist today who looks into ourselves, our minds, and the spirit of contemporary society more accurately and intimately. His fantastic posters form a silent graphic series that we are spectators of. And it is a series about us – about our dreams, challenges, fears, and hopes. Jońca observes us in our most private moments – you know, when we think that no one is really watching. And he does it in a unique style – with confident, even ostentatious lines and rich, almost “squeezed” colors. The comic book characters appear in frames like in an artistic animation, where everything is conventional, where everything is “more” and where, like children with their mouths agape, we allow ourselves to be surprised and wait for more surprises. Jońca plays with space, perspective, and projection - each time testing our alertness and readiness to see things differently. He draws us into visual and semantic puzzles where it is not the fun itself that counts, but the punchline.
His illustrations appear in major magazines (Przekrój, Newsweek, Wysokie Obcasy Extra, Zwierciadło, and Znak) and illustrate the most demanding topics. Awarded worldwide, collaborating with major brands such as Apple and Biedronka, he continues to experiment and search. Interestingly, he is conservative in his explorations, in the best sense of the word. On the one hand, his posters are strikingly attractive, colorful, and contemporary, while on the other, they are somehow classically timeless. They seem to be taken from the songs of Kabaret Starszych Panów (The Old Gentlemen's Cabaret) – inventive, charming, and classy. They convey distance, humor, and reflection. Paweł Jońca's posters stick in your mind. You can't get them out of your head or wipe them away. You can be sure – this is a warning – that some of his illustrations will forever take over your associations and – we warn you again! – you will think and see Jońca."
