He also created pastel and watercolor landscapes of Arizona, still lifes, and portraits. Brzosko has exhibited in Europe and in the United States. He commented on his style: "My art is very simple. I am a modern realist concerned with problems of composition, form and color." Władysław Brzosko passed away in Arizona on May 26, 2011.
