Tomasz Maronski

Tomasz Maronski is a Polish fantasy artist who started in traditional media, primarily oil, but after 10 years decided to move to digital painting.

Working primarily in Corel Photo-paint, Maronski creates richly textured fantasy landscapes, lush with fantastical forms that seem to take inspiration partly from biological sources and partly from Surrealist masters of textural suggestion like Max Ernst and Yves Tanguy.

Maronski often works with a restricted palette, casting the majority of the composition in a small color range, accented with sharply contrasting hues from the other side of the color wheel.

He also likes to play with light and shadow, often with dramatic shafts and beams of light giving his subjects a theatrical focus.

It seems Maronski no longer has a dedicated website, instead relying on galleries on sites like CG Society and deviantART as a substitute.

I can’t find an actual bio or working credits; so I’m unsure of the range of his clients or work, though he apparently had illustrated a number of book covers.

This issue also offers a rather interesting interview with scholar and SF researcher Rachel Haywood Ferreira, but what you won’t want to miss are the short stories. Really!

1 – Siren Songs in Deep Time by Nassau Hedron:

Nassau Hedron’s beautiful story, Siren Songs in Deep Time, is a very well thought of and very well written story that spans across time, in a few very short and well knit together chapters, from Greece in World War II – though we are made to know that the story began long long before, maybe in the beginning of ti

Tomasz Maronski – Fantasy visions

“I paint on the canvas for almost 10 years. During this time I always improve my work expression and technics, searching for the right, unique ways of expressing either my personality or ideas, fantasy visions hidden inside of me. My adventure with computer graphic has started when I possessed the oil painting skills, but unfortunately I didn’t have time for that. My paintings concern merely the fantasy themes getting inspirations from world surrounded me every day. I focus on the landscapes subject. One of five works becoming very spontaneous but usually after the pre-painting or drawing I specify the aim. At the beginning I always define and describe the color pallet which I’d like to use in my work. I like using one dominating color which accents the main subject. My works consist the subject of some history I invented. Those ideas which I haven’t used yet will be a great part of my masterpieces in near future. The inspiration is everywhere for me. Therefore I can make painting with referenc
