Selected works
2023 Composition in frosty tones, oil on canvas, dimensions: 100cm x 100cm
Description: The image is representative of my explorations related to abstraction. The inspiration comes from landscapes, surroundings, especially the wilderness, the outskirts of cities and villages. I take into account the most important elements and transform it into composition. I combine geometric elements with natural ones, disturbing the harmony to re-balance it again.
2023 Weather impressions, oil on canvas
This series of six paintings is inspired by James Whistler's landscapes. Whistler used to represent light, fog and objects with simple means of expression. His specific technology of wiping off layers and applying subsequent ones, was giving the effect of characteristic brushstrokes, dynamics, lightness and ephemerality, which is difficult to achieve with any other creative method. Whistler was one of the first to show that painting is not only representation of reality, but above all a process, and the process of creation is especially important for an artist. He directed landscape painting towards non-representative painting. Weather impressions were made using a similar method. The paintings were created on the basis of the layers destruction and the imposition of subsequent ones. This is a specific variation on James Whistler's method of painting which allows to achieve the effect of evanescence and flashes. As a result the individual layers interpenetrate, and the underpainting and the drawing are deliberately brought out to the top layer of the painting. In addition to the painterly gesture and the trace of the brush, the perception of these compositions is determined by the dullness and gloss of the paint. Without unnecessary aestheticization, the winter landscapes of empty spaces are transformed into abstract images. Calmness is combined with dynamics, nuances with decisive brushstrokes, and disharmony turns into harmony.

With a blue baloony, oil on linen, Masquerade series, 80 cm x 100 cm, 2022
2022 Juggling, oil on canvas, 100 cm x 100 cm. Alienations series. Description:
Alienation is the subject close to me and I think it is very important today. Nowadays, more and more societies are becoming societies of only children. This has a broad impact on social relationships. Secondly, there is a number of factors such as modern technologies, consumerism, which determine lifestyle. This currently determine the breaking of social bonds and making it more difficult to establish them. The series of paintings "Alienations" partly addresses these problems, using the example of a woman. These are portraits of women frozen in thought, between presence and absence in an abstract space.
2021 Abstract paintings series based on colour contrasts and combining sharp geometric forms with soft, rounded, organic forms. This is a continuation of searching for harmony among contradictory elements and dissonances. At the same time, it aims to individualize geometric abstract forms so that they pulsate with subcutaneous emotions. Impastos and textures are used to emphasize the play of light and colour.
Works are in private collections.

Description
Zbigniew Dłubak once said, Photography does not have to imitate anything. It is an effect of a pure camera work, pure optical work, spatial geometry. I try to treat photography like this. [Quoted from Z. Dłubak's speech at the opening of his exhibition ASYMETRIA '94 at the Małej Galerii ZPAF-CSW in Warsaw, March 1, 1994] This point of view seems to be the beginning of abstract photography. Looking for the right ways of expression, I wanted to get closer to the answer about underlying of material world, regardless of whether we consider it in terms of science or metaphysics. The body in my pictures is torn out of context. It is divided into fragments. Some parts of the body portray other parts. Sometimes you do not need even to take body pictures to get the impression of body and skin. The body is not anymore the object. It becomes the beginning of the abstract picture. Małgorzata Wielgosz wrote about this series of photographs: The naked body, through its fragmentedness, is anonymous, impersonal, recalled without face. It becomes a universal image of contemporary Venus. The artist does not treat body in a documentary way, but she closes it in artistic composition, unconventional and interesting. The apparent motion in the photos is strongly embedded and even imprisoned in physical matter.
