This painting presents a group of objects which can often be found in urban gardens which are usually designed by landscape architects or belong to the old mansions or palaces. Their structure is carefully arranged and the superior feature is the symmetry based on the seventeenth-century regular French gardens. It is worth noting that shrubs are cut to geometric shapes. The whole layout resembles a pattern that has been well thought-out in terms of form and colour. This is one of the examples of a human being making nature subordinate to them using natural, engineering, sociological and artistic sciences. They bring it to the role of a medium which they use to create geometric compositions. That way they create an imaginary world, making frequent references to a mythological labyrinth. When I observe such gardens, they always seem a magical place to me. In my painting I presented a moment when their phenomenality becomes intensified in cold winter evenings. Bushes do not look like bushes anymore and their original shape is distorted in two ways – first by giving it a geometric form and then by covering them with some thin dark fabric.
The painting has been maintained in monochrome tones of blueish greys and pure white, which refer to the winter weather. I focused on object details whereas the background was simplified to a maximum extent. The painting consists of two pieces of canvas joined together by hinges. The lower part presents a landscape whereas the upper one (a narrow stripe) is a macro image of things which one does not notice while looking at the whole garden, meaning wooden elements of the construction. Such a solution may resemble postcards showing parks and palaces, where the image of a garden is usually placed in the middle and it is surrounded by small photographs taken at close quarters showing some other elements. Both pieces of canvas have their white frames. Additionally, the upper part is even more exposed as it tilts off the wall at a slight angle. It might be associated with the way people used to hang pictures of saints on the walls in the countryside.

Visual artist. Painting and photography. Born in 1981, Minsk Mazowiecki, Poland. Lives and works near Warsaw,PL. In my creative work I deal with painting and photography. The inspiration for my works I find in the real world from which I take the shapes of objects and plant motifs. The main topic of my paintings is human activity in selected areas of his surroundings. I make observations of objects created by him in public places, isolated, on orchards, on the marketplaces and street stalls. These and other objects are usually made from recycled materials, whose primary purpose came an end. They are set up a new and their function depends only on the imagination and intentions of "the creator". I'm interested in them the material they are made, cleverness, purposefulness and the final effect. The resulting objects are very significant for me, I am finding in them the beauty of construction by early deconstruction. I am also interested in the coexistence of man with nature. In my paintings I depicting phenomena from the plant world, in which you can see human "traces". By observing the impact of his actions on nature closely, I want to show its transformation and adaptation to unnatural conditions. The result is often interesting compositions consisting of plants and artificial matter. Both of these entities under the influence of time are slowly transformed, plants seem to adapt to the situation, and the foreign matter is decomposed and constantly degraded, becoming a specific part of nature, almost its living organism."
