Norman Leto

Norman Leto (born August 23, 1980, Bochnia, Poland), birth name Łukasz Banach,[1] is a Polish artist, self-educated in the fields of painting, film, and new media.

At the age of fourteen (1994) he created his first moving pictures using 16-bit computers while also developing "analog" skills with drawing, painting, and traditional animation techniques.

At the age of nineteen, long before taking the alias of "Norman Leto", he became friends with the well-known Polish painter Zdzisław Beksiński.

One year later, while living in Kraków, Poland, Banach took the pseudonym of Norman Leto; his debut solo exhibition took place at the Center of Contemporary Art in Warsaw in 2007.

Despite the authors' initial lack of interest in official, external producers or distributors, "Sailor" has been screened worldwide at art-house film festivals and in modern art institutions.
