Nikifor – Motion Design for National Museum in Kielce

Project: exhibition animation / Client: National Museum in Kielce / Technique: 2D motion design and character rigging

Nikifor Lemko, also known as Epifaniusz Drowniak, created extraordinary works using humble materials such as paper, cardboard, and inexpensive paints. His paintings, watercolors, and drawings remain a source of inspiration for artists around the world.

For the National Museum in Kielce, I created a short promotional motion design piece for the exhibition at the Museum of Dialogue Between Cultures. Using Nikifor's self-portrait, I designed a simple character rig animation and combined it with elements from his paintings and cardboard-style backgrounds.

This approach highlighted the artist's unique visual language while strengthening the exhibition's identity. The video gives viewers an engaging way to discover Nikifor's life, artistic development, and the region that inspired his work.
