ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Series of drawings - a professional ballet dancer during training. I wanted to capture work on a path to success, behind the scenes of the dancer’s life. The drawings were created during an actual training, which required a lot of focus and quick drawing skills. The effort was on both sides of the endeavour - after each session both me and the model needed a glass of water. My goal was to create a real, vivid, alive and truthful picture - not idealised. The drawings include all traces of the creation process, like fingerprints. Sometimes I even started drawing by making the page less clean. This theme allowed me to feel a sense of purpose, provided me with a series of tensions and reliefs. I am positive I will revisit it and explore it even deeper - I still feel hunger for more . And the collaboration with Teresa was pure pleasure. T like Teresa ~ symbol of movement

I usually create series that vary in subject matter. I like to explore one theme and search for nuances in it until I feel satisfaction or find new inspiration. I create out of necessity, my art reflects my journey, its steps, inner life... Creating mainly from within, I often come face to face with emptiness. These moments are difficult, but they are the beginning of something new. I create by staring into my own fear, each time I feel the urge to take another step. I take that step because I cannot repeat patterns. This is how I understand the act of creation. It means that among the images that want to be painted by me, there are many different subjects and styles, and I hope I always have enough courage to be surprised by what wants to be expressed. I take winding, uncomfortable paths. I do not walk the same path because, although it is more difficult, it is more interesting. I hope you will become my friend and companion on this journey. 'I think that if artists were allowed to choose their own labels, most of them would choose none.' Ben Shahn 'The painting does not come from the easel. It comes from the soul of the artist. The painting has its own life. I am just trying to let it come through.' Jackson Pollock
