ARTur (Artur Sychowski) is one of the most talented and sought-after artists of the young generation. By not having his head in the clouds, but utilizing a sky-is-the-limit approach, this prodigal 23-year-old is promoting his home country of Poland with flair, elegance and grace to create a better, more art-filled world. Armed with only a piano and a dream, Artur is proposing a tour of international distinction and aiming to make a record as innovative as he is for new audiences in the US. Possessing an abundance of artistry and charm, he reaches beyond first impressions under the artistic pseudonym of ARTur, a name which literally means “your art” (“ur” = “your), to convey that the act of spreading art to all is strongly engraved in his person.
“My art is for the people, not for myself, and I want to change art,” ARTur proclaims. “As a person, I want to spread love. Music opens the heart enabling it to release love. By changing the approach to music and art into a once in a lifetime, emotional event, I wish to show the world new dimensions and revive what the music experience can really be.”
Starting music on a grand piano at the age of four (a rambunctious, disobedient child during music lessons he often created alternate endings during instruction), ARTur attended two schools, consuming music and graduating high school early. He excelled at his craft only to be sidetracked by a devastating illness.
“Despite all the goodwill and training, I could not perform, I was sick with a severe and incurable illness,” he states. “My body was bleeding often; I still remember the embarrassment when my white shirts were getting sticky and purple red. Finally, with the help of Chinese medicine, I was cured of this terrible and shameful disease. After this healing, I was ready to reach for the best prizes and awards in Europe as a true reward and reassurance of my talent and mission.”
One with the piano, ARTur intuitively adjusts its sound to create perfection: it is for him the entire spectrum of colors and energies an extension mind and imagination. In Europe, it’s hard to find a similar artist equal to ARTur who is an out-of-the-box pianist, composer (including film and theater), improviser, accompanist and a member of multitude of vocal and instrumental musical ensembles.
Graduating with distinction from Wejherowo I level State Music School, he has been awarded prizes in prestigious piano competitions while numerous foundations and cultural organizations have granted him scholarships. Performing in concert halls in the USA, United Arab Emirates, UK, Italy, Greece, France, Switzerland, Germany, Russia, Lithuania, Malta, Cyprus, Serbia, Georgia, Indonesia, Philippines and his native Poland, ARTur’s unique blend of performance art has been received with honor and praise.
“Since my first steps into the bigger world of music, many magical things have happened” he says. “Many of my works are on such an expert level that some are disbelieving that they come from such a young and inexperienced mind. This makes me confident that if I am able to uniquely combine the heart and the mind, I can create things beyond time and space and achieve anything I want!”
