Władysław Wałęga is a Polish self-taught painter, born in Krakow in 1940. After World War II, he was sent to an orphanage and in 1956 he was sent to a correctional facility for trying to escape abroad. In 1975 after some years in prison he went to a psychiatric hospital in Krakow, where he began to paint. Today he is considered one of the great art brut artists in Poland.
