Przemyslaw Blejzyk, known as Sainer, is a Polish painter and muralist born in 1988 in Lodz. He gained international recognition as one half of Etam Cru alongside Bezt, producing building-sized murals rich in folklore, surrealism, and humor using paint rollers and house paint rather than spray cans. Since around 2016, Sainer has shifted his focus to studio painting, creating compositions on canvas and linen that merge impressionist and fauvist traditions with digital-age aesthetics. He lives and works in Gdynia, Poland.
