Love at First Sight by Wislawa Szymborska, the winner of Nobel Prize in Literature 1996 They’re both convinced that a sudden passion joined them. Such certainty is beautiful, but uncertainty is more beautiful still. Since they’d never met before, they’re sure that there’d been nothing between them. But what’s the word from the streets, staircases, hallways— perhaps they’ve passed by each other a million times? I want to ask them if they don’t remember— a moment face to face in some revolving door? perhaps a “sorry” muttered in a crowd? a curt “wrong number” caught in the receiver?— but I know the answer. No, they don’t remember. They’d be amazed to hear that Chance has been toying with them now for years. Not quite ready yet to become their Destiny, it pushed them close, drove them apart, it barred their path, stifling a laugh, and then leaped aside. There were signs and signals, even if they couldn’t read them yet. Perhaps three years ago or just last Tuesday a certain leaf fluttered from one shoulder to another? Something was dropped and then picked up. Who knows, maybe the ball that vanished into childhood’s thicket? There were doorknobs and doorbells where one touch had covered another beforehand. Suitcases checked and standing side by side. One night, perhaps, the same dream, grown hazy by morning. Every beginning is only a sequel, after all, and the book of events is always open halfway through. Miłość od pierwszego wejrzenia Oboje są przekonani, że połączyło ich uczucie nagłe. Piękna jest taka pewność, ale niepewność piękniejsza. Sądzą, że skoro nie znali się wcześniej, nic między nimi nigdy się nie działo. A co na to ulice, schody, korytarze, na których mogli sie od dawna mijać? Chciałabym ich zapytać, czy nie pamiętają- może w dzwiach obrotowych kiedyś twarzą w twarz? jakieś "przepraszam" w ścisku? głos "pomyłka" w słuchawce? - ale znam ich odpowiedź. Nie, nie pamiętają. Bardzo by ich zdziwiło, że od dłuższego już czasu bawił sie nimi przypadek. Jeszcze nie całkiem gotów zamienić się dla nich w los, zbiżał ich i oddalał, zabiegał im drogę i tłumiąc chichot odskakiwał w bok. Były znaki, sygnały, cóż z tego, że nieczytelne. Może trzy lata temu albo w zeszły wtorek pewien listek przefrunął z ramienia na ramię? Było coś zgubionego i podniesionego. Kto wie, czy już nie piłka w zaroślach dzieciństwa? Były klamki i dzwonki, na których zawczasu dotyk kładł się na dotyk. Walizki obok siebie w przechowalni. Był może pewnej nocy jednakowy sen, natychmiast po zbudzeniu zamazany. Każdy przecież początek to tylko ciąg dalszy, a księga zdarzeń zawsze otwarta w połowie.

BIO Lidia Wylangowska, a native of Poland, lives and works in U.S., Illinois with her husband, Christopher since 1993. She works mainly in portraiture and figurative oil painting. While her artistically expressed stories revolve around personal exploration of her internal and external worlds and their wonders, imagination and meanings, her pieces allow viewers to interpret for themselves. Her distinctive, dynamic artworks display a wide variety of themes and moods; executed in muted, neutral colors, dramatic contrasts are created with vibrant hues or tones that are layered over lacy, vegetal, and textural relief patterns. This combination of realism and abstraction that plays across the surface of her pieces, imbues them with a sense of the merging of internal and external possibilities. Lidia has developed her own visual vocabulary and inimitable style as an autodidact. Her distinctive personal style emanates a spectrum of human nature. Her artwork is included in numerous private art collections throughout the U.S. and internationally. She has also created many commissioned works of art. STATEMENT My art tells my story. It's a story of my world, of my thoughts and emotions entwined in an internal dialogue. And some of it can be expressed only through painting. It is incredible, how fairy-tales I heard once-upon-a-time, in my childhood actually influenced my life and defined who I am. As an adult, I still believe in happy endings and that good will prevail. The Enchanted Pencil is one of the stories I remember very clearly. This special pencil could materialize anything drawn, such as doors that lead to any place imaginable. I realized this story has become hardwired in me. And now my paintings are those doors. Doors that lead me to my own world of peace and harmony. A world where dragons, wyverns, basilisks and dwarfs roam free. Where life has a deeper meaning which I do not yet comprehend but searching for this meaning is a fascinating process. ..... PROCESS OF WORK The painting process will likely begin before you realize you want to do it. However, taking it purely technically ... Here is plywood. A few layers of primer. I start with a sketch and then work with oil paints starting with the subtle valors. Light is probably the most important element of my research. However, it is also true that the deeper the shadow, the brighter the light is. Possibly it is about looking for a balance.
