Damon Kowarsky is a Melbourne-based artist, widely recognised for his highly detailed landscape etchings and illustrations. Drawing from his extensive history of working and living overseas, Kowarsky represents both local and foreign landscapes, using his distinct visual language and personal lens to interpret the world around him. The resulting works are richly atmospheric, evoking a quiet familiarity in scenes both known and unknown.

In his 2026 etching ‘The View from Clivedon’, Kowarsky creates an impression of the English countryside, as viewed from Cliveden House. In this work, Kowarsky explores the intersection of wilderness and urban life, with small glimpses of buildings appearing through the thickness of forest trees. Working in his characteristic style, he employs nuanced detail and a unique viewpoint to convey an impression of an area as it is felt, rather than simply observed. Through Kowarsky’s lens, the scene resonates with an immediate sense of familiarity, regardless of direct experience.

Kowarsky has been the recipient of major awards including the Toyota Community Spirit Artist Travel Award and the Creative Victoria New Works Grant, and his work is held in significant public and private collections both in Australia and internationally. For collectors of contemporary Australian printmakers, this work is a jewel to discover.
