One of the world's most celebrated surrealists, Rafal Olbinski has garnered more than 100 international awards for his artwork over the past 25 years. Olbinski (1943) immigrated to the United States from Poland in 1981. Soon, he established himself as a prominent painter, illustrator and designer. Olbinski's work is very similar to the work of the famous Belgian surrealist Rene Magritte; Olbinski describes his approach to painting and illustrating as "poetic surrealism". He has cited his influences as "everybody," specifically Saul Steinberg, Milton Glaser, Marshall Arisman and Brad Holland.

In 1994 he was awarded the International Oscar for The World's Most Memorable Poster, Prix Savignac in Paris. The President of the Republic of Poland awarded Olbinski the highest award in the field of arts, the gold medal, "Gloria Artis."
