"The Tankas or boat people are an ethnic subgroup in Southern China who have traditionally lived on junks in coastal parts of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Hainan, and Zhejiang, as well as Hong Kong, and Macau. Though many now live onshore, some from the older generations still live on their boats and pursue their traditional livelihood of fishing. Historically, the Tankas were considered to be outcasts. Since they were boat people who lived by the sea, they were sometimes referred to as "sea gypsies" by the Chinese and British. Tanka origins can be traced back to the native ethnic minorities of southern China known historically as the Baiyue who may have taken refuge on the sea and gradually assimilated into Han culture. However, Tanka have preserved many of their native traditions that are not found in Han Chinese culture." "Starting in the Han Dynasty (206 BC–220 AD), the Chinese hunted extensively for seawater pearls in the South China Sea. Tanka pearl divers of twelfth century China attached ropes to their waists in order to be safely brought back up to the surface."

Andrew Walaszek, a contemporary artist residing in Northwest Arkansas, boasts a life and career as vibrant and multifaceted as his paintings. Born in Washington, D.C. in 1954, his artistic foundation was laid during his formative years spent travelling across Europe. From the rich history of Warsaw to the dynamic streets of Glasgow, each location (including Belgrade and Minsk) undoubtedly enriched his artistic perspective. Walaszek returned to the U.S. in 1977, settling in Chicago. For many years, he skillfully balanced a successful career in software development with his artistic passion. It wasn't until 2014 that he fully embraced his artistic calling, establishing a studio at Lake Avalon in Arkansas and dedicating himself to painting full-time. Walaszek's artistic repertoire is a captivating blend of styles, encompassing figurative, abstract, and expressive forms. His creative spark ignites from diverse sources - historical and contemporary events, the whispers of his imagination, the ever-evolving world of technology, and the breathtaking landscapes of the Ozark Mountains. This rich tapestry of influences allows him to translate his experiences and emotions onto the canvas, captivating viewers with his unique artistic vision.
