About The Artwork

The Relatively Short Episode There is this short moment of twilight when nightfall is inevitable. A point of no return. Outside and inside became one, light loses its power, darkness takes it over. I tried to catch this particular moment by giving the painting two faces. I covered the dark areas, painted transparently directly on unprimed linen with a graphite layer which united inside with outside. That’s how the painting looks at the first sight, by daylight. However when you move and look from different angles or use a spotlight, the details of the church and 3D character of the architecture emerge from underneath the graphite layer. The white strips of light are solid and make relief on the surface of the painting. This painting is based on my photo of the view from the University of Łódź of the St. Teresa Church.

Born in 1956, Krakow, living and working in Amsterdam since 1982. I am an independent artist, also Art Teacher specialized in Painting Portrait and Model.

Architectural paintings. Photography in the making process. Oil and acrylic on (sometimes shaped) canvas. Synthesis (balance) of realism and abstraction. Reflective on the art of painting itself.

Architecture is my major all-embracing theme. Regarded within social and historical context architecture itself, ancient or utmost modern, reflects not only abstract ideas and principles of design, but also indicates the vulnerability of the human condition.

Photography is so to speak the equivalent of my sketchbook. With kind of snapshots I am exploring fragments of reality. Photographic fragmentation itself often defines the forms of my canvasses; it enables a serial way of working.

I once had the experience of bliss when I found a very special technique of preparing the canvas. In each painting some parts of the canvas are left unprimed, purposefully revealing the texture and color of the linen canvas. This creates an edge or relief between different levels throughout the image. This process is deeply embedded in each image and has become an additional force of my creative spectrum.
