Wow, if you have the original, it is worth millions of Canadian dollars.

looks like T. (or F.) Kobierczy. However I didn't find such surname on Polish surname map so not sure if such surname really exist.

no such surname as well. Besides that what word would it be derived from?

looks like T. (or F.) Kobierczy.

The ending of the surname looks like -czy indeed.

There is no such surname on the list of Polish artists:

quite a discovery was this Beksiński chap. Great song too here! I wonder if becksi is a relative ;)

I like Poles who can channel their romanticism into sth tangible like that Beksiński fellow, rather than high-faluted and floating ideals.

coming from Montreal there is a good chance that this is Jewish, no?
