'From the Class of '58' - Karel Lek RCA

'The misfortunes of the last war, brought me as a boy of 11, from Antwerp to North Wales, where I have lived for the past 71 years. I wonder sometimes whether this qualifies me to call myself a Welshman! I was educated at Friars Grammar School, Bangor, and went from there to Liverpool College of Art.'

'I paint continuously, mostly my subjects are my fellow men and women in whatever situation I find them, and whether in urban or rural surroundings.

Painters express themselves visually and in my case , my tubes of paint and bottles of ink serve my purpose rather than words. Whatever critics may say about my work, I hope that they may say it conveys honesty and compassion'
