ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Udaka means water. Water is the source of life - it is a cliché that even preschoolers know about. But as the source of life, it symbolizes all the environments of our planet. It is a symbol of life-giving cold, and its absence is a symbol of the threat of drought, water is a symbol of freshness and a symbol of rot, it is synonymous with cleanliness and the risks associated with environmental pollution. From the muddy water grows the purest flower of this planet - the lotus, and here I am reminded of a quote from one of the gatha of meals sung in Zen Soto monasteries: "from muddy water, with the purity of a lotus, this is how we bow to the Buddha." Do you know what this quote is about?

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.
