ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Appana is a state of meditative union with the object of meditation. The word comes from the Pali language. Its direct translation would be: absorption, immersion, however, for people unfamiliar with meditation, these words will not explain much. Appana is a state in which the perception of the external world disappears, although the awareness of this world does not - we know perfectly well what is around us, what is happening around us, but at this moment it does not matter to us. It's like the awareness of our own skin, we know that it is there, we know that it covers our body, but in everyday activities this awareness has no meaning. So what remains when the perception of the outside world disappears?... What remains is a peace whose intensity you cannot experience in any other state.

Jacek Sikora - an actor by profession, painter by choice, traveler by twist of fate. He began his adventure with art by working on stage. Studies at Ecole Internationale de Mimodrame de Paris, and Ecole de Mime Corporel Dramatique opened him to the expression and code of gestures of the human body. The trace of stage work can be found in his figurative works, in which man is always at the center. His artistic path has evolved from acting and pantomime towards visual arts and easel painting. Enchanted by traditional Far Eastern ink painting on paper, he begins his artistic search with figurative art based on monochrome color, in which we find the most characteristic features of his work - color and detail minimalism. Over time, his works evolve towards color field painting, reducing detail from abstract paintings and introducing color to figurative ones, which emphasizes the importance of the symbols hidden in the paintings. Today, paintings by Jacek Sikora can be found in collections in Great Britain, USA, Russia, Australia, France, Cyprus, Emirates and Japan. He lives and works in Świdnica.
