After selling his paintings over the past 18 months in London, New York and in Marlborough, Wiltshire, Orlik now has his first solo exhibition in a publicly funded gallery.
Some of those who have already bought his work have loaned it out to the exhibition at Museum and Art Swindon.
One of those is Helen Michael, who calls the piece she bought “very emotional”.
“The colours, the detail, the imagination, I could look at it for a very long time. You just think, how how did he do this?”
