Meteors is one of my first painted ceramics, giving it a very soft colours finish and an impressionist effect.
The subject if of course the world famous monasteries on top of rocks in the Meteora region of Greece. Here is only a personal glimpse of it. It has a scent of paradise to me, even if I would be probably very frightened by living so high up on the edge of a precipice! But I am truly impressed by the life of those monks, and by the builders of such architectural marvels... It has an effect of houses in the clouds, at the gates of the paradise.
The world would be quite different if all humans were more preoccupied by the salvation of their souls rather than the satisfaction of their earthly whims and cravings...

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Meteors is one of my first painted ceramics, giving it a very soft colours finish and an impressionist effect. The subject if of course the world famous monasteries on top of rocks in the Meteora region of Greece. Here is only a personal glimpse of it. It has a scent of paradise to me, even if I would be probably very frightened by living so high up on the edge of a precipice! But I am truly impressed by the life of those monks, and by the builders of such architectural marvels... It has an effect of houses in the clouds, at the gates of the paradise. The world would be quite different if all humans were more preoccupied by the salvation of their souls rather than the satisfaction of their earthly whims and cravings...

I am a French and Polish artist, born in Paris in 1972. Coming from a family of artists (my mother Julita is a sculptor, my sister Gabrielle a painter, my brother Pierre a music composer...) I've expressed myself in my childhood mainly through drawing. Then for many years I dropped art totally and went into studies and work, to realise a few years back I cannot live without creating. A peak time is my New York experience for a few month in 2008, where I briefly just plunged into creation, before coming back to what had become my normal everyday life... After that, this urge for creation has grown on me progressively until a recent making out in 2011, when returning from a very enriching experience as a plumber in Bangladesh slums, where I had spent about a year and a half... Quite lost at my return home, I can say I slowly came back to myself only through art. The action of sculpting was a highly restructuring experience to me.It rebuilt me and gave a new meaning to my life. Since then, I've been creating and considering myself as an artist. In the meantime I got married and am a father of adorable twin boys, born in 2016. With this parenthood experience my creation has necessarily evolved, I considered myself primarily as a sculptor, but with restricted time and access to my clay workshop in Touraine I had much frustration. Hence my latest sculpture projects with various materials including recyclables and rubbish, my recent return to drawing, my discovery of collage and also painting to a lesser extent. Today, another page will be turned with our installation mid 2017 in a new house in Saint Cloud, near Paris, with the possibility of having a workshop at home, and generally more space and more time dedicated to creation.
