ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In fact, it is a picture of a white rhinoceros that I can sketch from nature because he lives near me in a ZOO in Chorzów, Poland. I am fascinated by the unusual form of the rhino's body. A huge, powerful herbivore on the verge of extinction, countable, shrouded in legend. His body, when dismembered, is desirable as an amulet, a life elixir, an aphrodisiac, a cure for all diseases. 1 gram of rhinoceros horn is almost 2 times more expensive than a gram of gold. _______ The work is sent together with exhibition catalogs. The artist includes catalogs from individual exhibitions with each original painting. __________ Canvas stretched on a wooden frame. The edges are finished in the tone of the painting. Ready to hang. A decorative frame is not required.

In my paintings I try to combine the sphere of physis, sensual pleasure, biology, and colors with symbolic elements evoking ontological and metaphysical meanings. My canvas constitute a mixture of textural and flat painting; Working on paper, I apply various techniques; I also press some parts of my linocuts. I am fond of order, symmetry and classic skills. At the same time, in painting and drawing I use techniques that allow chance decalcomania, grattage, dropping. At the first stage of my creative work I am quick and spontaneous. Then, at the next stages, I tame chaos and introduce order. As a result, my paintings form multilayer phenomenon. The layer of colors, regions of colors interactions constitute the foundation of my paintings. The material layer consists of the specific techniques I applied, textures, and deposits of paints. The layer of represented objects includes figures like woman, boy, tree, rhino. The layer of meanings consists of a story that usually finds no final on the picture.
