Born in 1948 in Łódź. He creates photography, drawings, sculptures (objects) and installations. He also specialises in theory of photography. He is one of the most prominent Polish artists and professors of photography from the 80’s till today.

He graduated from PWSSP (The State Higher School of Visual Arts) in Łódź (in 1996 renamed to Academy of Fine Arts). He obtained his masters degree in 1974. Since 1976 he has worked at PWSSP in Łódź. In 1994 he was given the title of professor. He teaches at The Academy of Fine Arts in Poznań and in PWSFTviT in Łódź. In the mid 80’s he developed the creation of staged photography and sculptural objects, which he also used in photography but treated them in a autonomic way. In the 90’s the style of Grzegorz Przyborek has altered, although it expanded his previous achievements from the mid 80’s. Many photographs evoked surrealistic inspirations. A year scholarship at The School of Photography in Arles, granted by the French government in 1990, had a big influence on his works of that period. The artist paid attention to the very technique of photography that, in his case, is a complicated arrangement. Hotel Europa series was the most personal interpretation of current political events and his testimony of faith in the possibility of spiritual salvation of art and the world. In 1996 he created Thanatos (in black & white and colour versions). It pictured the sign of death by the means of 3-dimensional sculptures exhibited together with photographs. The death appeared in both male and female forms with more or less demonic mannequins. Since the late 90’s he has practiced computer graphics in which he continues to develop his photographic experience concerning the problem of image reality and dehumanization.
