I am a painter. I was born in Upper Silesia but live in Krakow. I graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow in 1983. My painting is characterized by exploration and experimentation with the form and substance of the image. I work in series that complement each other, ultimately creating a full range of my feelings and experiences. I have shown my paintings in solo and group exhibitions in Krakow and many other venues in Poland and around the world. I have exhibited in Paris, London, Venice, Florence, Monaco, New York, Tokyo, and Shanghai, participating in biennials and art fairs.
I think that each painting should make an impression, it can not be indifferent to the viewer. The idea of the painting is important, so that it is not just another canvas painted without sense and without purpose. There must be an idea which we illustrate by painting. I want to show the transience of a moment closed in the plane of color and penetrating the matter through light. I try to show transcendence. I was done in cycles - Screens, Woman - Imago, Stream of time.
I do not limit myself to one topic. The last cycle that has been created recently is the "Time stream". This topic arose from my interest in the Kosmos, the multidimensionality of time and space, parallel worlds. I am interested in where energy is accumulated isolated from the body.
The topics are closed in cycles that I mentioned earlier, and Obsessions and Archetypes. They are all current, they are not finished and new paintings are created in each of these cycles. The woman was always the dominant topic. A sensual, reflexive or obsessive woman. A woman - a flower or a woman's metamorphosis. Not a specific person but a woman. This topic appeared at the very beginning of my artistic work and has remained very important to me today. Over the years, this subject has undergone numerous transformations - female obsessions, sensuality, women flowers, women imago, archetypes of a woman.
I paint with oil and acrylic paints. For a long time I was looking for a transparent medium that would allow me to show the penetration of planes, the three dimensionality that is so intriguing to me. A soft, transparent medium resembling a plasma. After many years of work, it seems that I have achieved the goal - the fluidity and softness of biological forms combined with a hard, massively marked plane - the imagination of non-being (nonentity).
My paintings combine figurative and abstract painting. I want it to be read like that. I require more effort and commitment from the viewer of my paintings - to pay attention not only to the composition, form, penetration of the planes of color, brightness and light. Light is reflected differently from a flat surface and different from a thick texture. Additional impressions are caused by transparent textures. I want my paintings to have a sensual and emotional effect, not necessarily because of the content but more because of the diversity of their surface. Penetration of textures, colors and light - as in life - the permeation of feelings: love in sadness, sadness in reflection, reflection in expectation. Expectation for love. This painting requires a lot of emotional engagement, to sense the transience of the moment.
Painting is for me a link between the real world and the transcendent. Apart from artistic values, art should contain a mystery. In each painting, one can read the emotional load that was conveyed to him in the creative act.
