Perseus Painting

I am interested in the phenomenon of metamorphosis - transformation, which takes place simultaneously in two dimensions: internal (inner states of an artist) and visual (external). My works are records regarding the dynamics of my personal experiences. They are filled with tension and strong emotions. Authenticity of expression in a given moment is crucial to me. I usually choose media that allow me to quickly apply multiple layers and to frequently edit created compositions (...as for me, art is an endless search). On canvas, I paint mostly with acrylics. I am keen on unique and unconventional solutions - such as multi-layered alcohol ink painting (not only on flat surfaces). I create intuitively, starting from the expression of gesture. I usually start to find possible meanings only at later stages of the work or when the painting is finished. My inspiration stems from the mysterious and non-obvious: peculiar characters, strange situations and coincidences - affairs that disturb and demand to be explored further. In the creative process, I strive to unveil the covered, capture the ephemeral, the elusive, and the inexpressible in words.
