ABOUT THE ARTWORK

CONSTRUCTION № 3 was created from post-production wooden offcuts. Their fate (to become firewood) was changed by my love to geometrical forms. Once in a while I visit a friendly woodworking shop in Żoliborz district of Warsaw and take with me whole bag of beautiful blocks, which I later meditatively arrange in my studio. I don't draw sketches and I don't choose "project" blocks, I work with what I have at hand, I let the material guide my imagination. Each block is different, has a random solid form and a specific charm of uniqueness that only natural materials have. The project is subtitled SPIRIT OF MODERNITY because of its expressive character. There is no order of lines, symmetry or regularity, geometry is out of control and rushes around the edges of the solids in every direction.

I create wall decorations. Small and big. Jewellike, abstract, expressive. I try to capture, interpret and present beauty as I see it. Materials used by me are wood, stone, leather, fabric, metal. I avoid plastic material, because I believe that what nature gives is the most beautiful. However, there are fewer and fewer natural resources on earth, and on the other hand we have at hand a wealth of sometimes no longer needed, but still beautiful things. I am absolutely convinced that old wood looks much better than new and recycled leather has its own unique history, marked by time, charm and character that new pieces lack. I rarely reach for brand new materials. I work under the slogans Upcycling art / Sustainable design / Slow fashion. I create in a conscious and responsible way. I am not afraid to quote. I give new life not only to materials but also to artistic visions. Sometimes my designs are a tribute to the great masters of 20th century art, sometimes I am fascinated by so-called primitive, naive art. The two main elements in my work are line and texture. I strive to maximise the visual effect with limited means of expression. I value the rigour of geometricity, I love simplified shapes and solids, I am rather in favour of homogeneity of materials. A wall decoration should stand out, attract attention, be dramatic, be jewellike. To achieve this effect, I rely on contrasting patches of colour, gold. I give my works a sculptural quality.
