The object, which was the reason for creating this painting, was found just before winter in the garden allotment. The place was well-maintained and the grass as well as bushes were cut evenly. In other words, it was full harmony. Among densely growing spruces emerged a construction which was completely different and whose shape resembled a shelter or even a burial place. Of course, it was a straw jacket supported by wooden stokes. There was some white fabric sticking out of it, surely protecting some delicate shrubs from frost. Everything was carefully wrapped and tied up with strings. Such accuracy of a builder and their intention to warm plants seemed

to be so important that I included this object in my painting. Additionally, though perhaps intuitively, I placed it on a rectangular white pedestal which emphasizes its importance both in the formal sphere, as it creates a contrast to vibrating texture of straw, and the layer of content because it raises this structure up. Here, too, the frame is not obvious. The painting is finished by intensive green patches on both of its sides which may look like an unfold curtain.

Visual artist. Painting and photography. Born in 1981, Minsk Mazowiecki, Poland. Lives and works near Warsaw,PL. In my creative work I deal with painting and photography. The inspiration for my works I find in the real world from which I take the shapes of objects and plant motifs. The main topic of my paintings is human activity in selected areas of his surroundings. I make observations of objects created by him in public places, isolated, on orchards, on the marketplaces and street stalls. These and other objects are usually made from recycled materials, whose primary purpose came an end. They are set up a new and their function depends only on the imagination and intentions of "the creator". I'm interested in them the material they are made, cleverness, purposefulness and the final effect. The resulting objects are very significant for me, I am finding in them the beauty of construction by early deconstruction. I am also interested in the coexistence of man with nature. In my paintings I depicting phenomena from the plant world, in which you can see human "traces". By observing the impact of his actions on nature closely, I want to show its transformation and adaptation to unnatural conditions. The result is often interesting compositions consisting of plants and artificial matter. Both of these entities under the influence of time are slowly transformed, plants seem to adapt to the situation, and the foreign matter is decomposed and constantly degraded, becoming a specific part of nature, almost its living organism."
