CloseMeet Adam BartosikAdam Bartosik's artistic journey in Victoria, BC, is a story of passion and evolution. Specializing in pen and ink, he has mastered a variety of techniques, employing fineliner, ballpoint, fountain pens, traditional dip pens, and even brushes dipped in ink. His decision to become a full-time artist over three years ago was driven by a desire for personal skill development and to inspire his three daughters with the power of self-taught abilities. Adam's diverse portfolio is showcased in four venues across Victoria and on his website, encompassing originals, prints, cards, stickers, and apparel like t-shirts and hoodies. His art is deeply influenced by his love for Victoria, a city he's embraced as home for twenty years. Transitioning from a career in the hospitality industry, where he ascended from a dishwasher to a general manager, Adam has now fully immersed himself in the art world, bringing his unique perspective to every piece he creates. His collaboration with Destination Greater Victoria is a harmonious blend of his artistic flair and his deep-rooted connection to the city. Adam's work captures the essence of Victoria, not only in its scenic beauty but also in its vibrant culture, reflecting his own transformative journey from hospitality professional to a dedicated and accomplished artist.Learn MoreDestination Greater Victoria is honoured to be based on the traditional territory of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples of the Songhees Nation and Xwsepsum Nation, whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
