LucidColour & ColourLab was created and is still owned by Luke Janyszko.

"It all started when moving to Sydney

at 7 with my parents from Poland and Sicily, both were mechanics and they

started an engine repair shop in 'The 

Sydney'. They wanted to make me a mechanic too but I discovered all the  discarded car batteries in the yard.

Pouring out the acid and removing the lead plates from the batteries became a childhood obsession of course and turned into mixing other acids + many different metals (coins etc) together in old empty pickle jars. Coloured metal ions and complexes were discovered!

When I was 8, I turned the rarely used outback dunny into my 'Colour Lab' full of colourful liquids and crystals." 

​

"This went on for years and then led to making explosives from the same acid and metals as a 'free radical' teenager.

I then completed uni to work at AFP / bomb squad where many people last

expected me to be... they were right!

So I went back to making colour in New York for all the emerging artists and for many world renown artists."

 

"Coming home to Sydney, I continued making rare and unique pigments for all artists and every industry request. I

continue to react acid + recycled metal in this never ending 'dedication and

dangerous discovery' for new pigments

and also a commitment to all my loyal colour customers on my life's work." 

​

Due to the demand of manufacturing pigments and colourants for so many worldwide, I have decided to sell the

distribution rights of Lucid Colour and

Mafia Pigments so my team and I can just focus on pigment manufacturing.
