Adam Styka was born in Poland in 1890. He completed his formal education at the French Academy of Fine Arts, Academie de Beau Arts, and painted closely under the tutelage of his father, Jan Styka. His exquisite ability of captivating and conveying to his paintings faithfully the vibrating strong colours full of contrast of the hot Sahara Desert of Northern Africa, colours harmoniously blended together, made him a master without compare and earned him the appellation, The Master of Sunlight. He died on September 23, 1959 and was buried in the Alley of the Merit in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.
