My art work is a way to indirectly meet the sensitivity of another human being. Its essence is searching. Constant attempts to capture in the frames the pulsation of matter, its variability, twinkling, vibrations between opposites. Sacrum and profanum. Certainty and instability. Gold and concrete's roughness. I draw inspiration for my art work from my surrounding: nature (the floral sphere fascinates me constantly), urban chaos (that continuously delivers unexpected, abstract contrasts), music (speaking to my imagination since I was a child), and from entire legacy of pure and applied art. The phenomenon of art in my understanding is based around creating a situation in which we find values similar to those in our own hearts in a work created by another human being – thanks to that, the image strengthens our faith in those values, and becomes a medium for them, that we want to interact with repeatedly. Such art, in my opinion, fulfills it's task. Neither an art shocking nor flattering to common tastes. I hope that my works will become an inspiration for others to create some of those beautiful values in their own life matters, contributing to disseminate them. With these words, I would like to invite you to peer into the following pages of this catalog.
