Gold Teepee Drawing

Making art is like contemplation. Like a contemporary prayer it brings peace. It feels like writing poetry with line and color. In my past life I was a medieval monk who decorated manuscripts. Creativity for me is about improvisation, and about going deep: and exploring the subject... be it a line or color, as long as it's alive in our hands. This aliveness could be a test of artist's integrity. Once a subject is "dead" there is no reason to continue working on it, even though it may be "selling well". Currently what's alive for me is: ink, fountain pen and smooth paper, colored pencils and gold. Strong skills in anatomy drawing. Born in Poland, in 1974. Living in Arizona, USA since 2000. Making art for 24 years. Now returning, after a creative winter.
