Statement

Statement

I paint the irrational.

My primary language is painting.

I paint the babble of the human soul. Read it as you want to but don’t be too serious about it…;-)

My paintings don’t tell a story—there is no narrative behind them. These are studies in human babble, the constant hum, noise, drivel, gabble of human, glimpses of it.

I have nothing to say, painting does not say anything.  Humanity is an arrogant species, convinced of its own importance, yet all it can do is babble. Art is one of  the forms of that  babble , but needed, maybe it is the most harmless form.

If I were to place myself within a historical context, my paintings are most closely connected to Surrealism, Expressionism.  I’ve been influenced by the Surrealists, Baroque art, and the Polish artist Jacek Malczewski, whose paintings have always felt close to me. Last but not least, I’m grateful to have been a student of the late Prof. Leszek Mickos. The memories of conversations with him still spur my artistic endeavors.
