Adam Styka

Adam Styka is a French orientalist painter of Polish origin.

Adam Styka, son of the painter Jan Styka, was educated at the French Academy of Fine Arts and, after serving in the French army, became a French citizen. As a result of his annual travels through the French colonies in North Africa, Adam developed an entire genre of Middle Eastern, Oriental and particularly Moroccan subjects. Styka had a talent for conveying the vivid colors and atmosphere of the hot Sahara desert, the moods and life of the people living there. After moving to the United States, Adam Styka began to paint landscapes of the American Wild West and paintings on religious subjects.

Styka often exhibited his paintings in the most prestigious Parisian galleries such as Salon de Paris, Champs Des Elysees and other galleries in Europe and both Americas, where he was always honored with the highest awards.
