About The Artwork

The rectangle turned out to be an excellent entity to represent a lot of thoughts and impressions but one dominant idea returned in all my associations during my pictorial research: his role played in the Masonic symbolism. In fact, one of the architectural rectangles placed in their temples, the pavement called ‘the golden rectangle’ having the dimensions in the ratio (1x1.618) was used for evocation, a kind of religious worship of divine perfection. It was an inspiration for me, to use this geometric form and its function for my, sensu stricto artistic evocation, to visually reveal my perception, thinking and feeling referred to color via my medium. Precisely, for this series of my ‘Rectangles’ I was referring to the abstract use of color for my abstract photography based on the use of these particular, geometric forms placed in non-illusionistic space and combined into non-objective (non-representational) compositions. My abstract use of color means that it is freed from representation any external reality and can become the subject itself, to express its immanent values and properties perceived by us intellectually and emotionally. Here it is, my “Rectangular rhapsody”, part of my searches in the field of geometrical abstraction, miscellaneous images presenting different colors and their shades but all located in various, ‘golden rectangles’ put randomly on the image’s surface. Each image is a variation of one color and every its hue has their own rectangle. In parallel, this portfolio is my deep eulogy for mathematical beauty and the beauty of colors, my intense feeling toward the beauty of both these realities which have become the raw material for my photographs and its real subject.

Everything visual has always been fascinating to me and present in all aspects of my life, from my drawing practice to my theoretical studies in semiology of film. The images in its manifestations so different, unique and real, were for me an object of desire, to study as completely as possible and at the same time to achieve. These two complementary approaches, the theoretical versus practice has proven to be most fruitful for my entire artistic work, especially for my photography which, for many decades already, has been both: my profession and my expression of art. Nevertheless, it is freedom, as an essential axiom, that has formed the basis of my artistic philosophy. In fact, I have always felt a need to act independently without being subjected to dominant ideas. I remain firmly convinced that "the style is the man" as Bossuet said, and therefore my images should document the metamorphosis of my life in a world of my images. Obviously, they do, they record my traces, the traces of my present American existence, the traces of my French and Polish origins, of my family heritage and those of my artistic journey. All of these encompass two main, deeply personal topics obsessively recurring in my work: my joy of life, glorification of life and its beauty, pleasure, desire, freedom... and, my existential despair, my deep dissension on Man's fate, on the fragility of mankind, suffering, determinism and death. The photographic image is my means of expression and my art, but I do not feel trapped within its borders, neither ontologically nor aesthetically. On the contrary, nonconformist experimentation is part of my credo as an artist. In my achievements, the pure photography, traditional or digital co-exist together with the mixed media, the objective documentary co-exist with sensual abstraction etc. It is not contradictory because these are my heterogeneous ideas and diverse dreams that dictated to me such vast choice of technological and stylistic approaches. Take, for example, the two typical case studies from my photographic work. Although they represent two extremely opposite, aesthetic positions, both are significant trends of my "philosophy": "The Appearances", anthropological treated on the key concepts of the French culture and civilization, classical work, similar to the new realism, and "Halloween," caricatures of participants from New York Village Halloween Parade, expressionist work par excellence.
