…in seeking balance between the known and the unknown, I communicate my inner world and aim to challenge and provoke the viewers’ minds and imagination. Besides their imagery itself, my artworks have intriguing titles that provide the viewers with flexible guidelines and just enough of underlying ideas to begin a process of personal interpretation.
…my artwork is neither abstract nor representational – it is somewhere in between. It expresses an inner vision of reality; the invisible is made visible through the process of layering colors, textures, forms, and lines. While playing intuitively with the elements, I create emotionally loaded metaphorical images that originate somewhere between observation and knowing.
…I metaphorically visualize images from my personal past and reflect my emotions and thoughts. The visual drama of the artwork allows the viewers’ participation, unlocks the deepest layers of their own intuition, (evoking a continuously emerging succession of thoughts), and inspires them to interpret these images according to their own cultural heritage and personal experiences.
…regardless of the art medium, collage is the basis of all my creative work. In collage I can take the world apart and reassemble it in an order ruled only by my intuition and intellectual mind. Sometimes the material itself - be it a piece of paper, fabric or found object - can unlock the deepest layers of memory and invoke feelings that culminate in the form of an artwork.
…my paintings are my imaginary visual diaries in which I move freely from one place to another - from the Mediterranean coast through the shady courtyards of my native Krakow to the deserts of Mexico. I never feel trapped - my imagination always takes me where I want to be.
