Apogeum
I
was born in 1959 in a small city called Lenczyca, Poland - a
city with 1000 years of history and many beautiful castles,
old buildings and churches. I started to paint when I was about
8 years old.
Penetrating
old buildings and old ruins of castles looking for treasures
and antiques, I one day found an old box of oil paints and some
old paintings. I was charmed by the beauty of really old things
and started to collect them, love, and appreciate them. I had
the opportunity to regularly visit the museum, which was located
in our castle, admiring old furniture, sculptures and of course
paintings.
Those
experiences and mysteries that surrounded Lenczyca had a huge
impact on my work and life. The darkness of dungeons and legends
about the greatest guardian of Lenczyca's treasure - Boruta
the Devil - appears on my canvases quite often.
Since
then, I use oil paints and old master techniques which I was
influenced by( John Martin, Gustave Dore, Rembrandt, Rubens,
Van Dyk )to create my own magical world from my imagination
and dreams, about life and death in the atmosphere of mystery.
