"When you are born a ladder is placed in front of you, so you can escape the world" - Rumi

Though I came across this beautiful quote just recently, I drew the ladders in 1995. Escape, or moving up to a more spiritual, lighter, less physical world is the leading idea here. 

During this journey up (or deeper into oneself) one comes across obstacles, symbols, archetypes that need to be witnessed, accepted or transformed. 

This is meant to be a drawing of a metaphysical, spiritual nature.
*Be aware: it's not perfect.  the paper in some places may be slightly bent, looks naturally worn by the time for a 20 year old drawing.

Making art is like contemplation. Like a contemporary prayer it brings peace. It feels like writing poetry with line and color. In my past life I was a medieval monk who decorated manuscripts. Creativity for me is about improvisation, and about going deep: and exploring the subject... be it a line or color, as long as it's alive in our hands. This aliveness could be a test of artist's integrity. Once a subject is "dead" there is no reason to continue working on it, even though it may be "selling well". Currently what's alive for me is: ink, fountain pen and smooth paper, colored pencils and gold. Strong skills in anatomy drawing. Born in Poland, in 1974. Living in Arizona, USA since 2000. Making art for 24 years. Now returning, after a creative winter.
