The most delicate of my paintings was inspired by a trip to Normandy. Historic beaches, high cliffs, Atlantic wind, but also charming villages, ubiquitous order, harmony and endless spaces interspersed with narrow, often winding roads, where you can sometimes see castles hidden behind walls.

The most beautiful of them – Château de Fréfossé – is located in Tilleul, near Étretat.
The place is shrouded in legend, telling the dark story of the former owner, Baron de Fréfossé and three sisters, residents of the village. The baron, whose attentions were refused, decided to take revenge, and women, fearing his anger, hid in the rock. They never got out of it. Their ghosts later haunted the Baron, Château de Fréfossé and the cliffs of Étretat, where supposedly their cry can be still heard on foggy, windy days.

My „Fantôme“ is a ghost. Good one.

Black and white contrast is a mean of expression that I usually use. Recently, however, I decided to open myself to creative experiments using other colors, while still remaining in the limits of my favorite minimalist form.

„Element of Danger“ is a copper line and white background, while „Swing Till Dawn“ is a black contour of the figure on a raw canvas.

Thematic inspiration for both paintings was my sentimental trips to Warsaw of the thirties. I spent this summer exploring the history of people and places that don’t exist any more. However, it wasn’t me who gave the titles to both paintings, but it is a completely different story…

In the interior of a pre-war tenement house on 16/18 Widok Street in Warsaw, there is an Auction house and an Art Gallery – Art. Krajewski. This place works only with selected artists and gathers their best artworks.

Several of my paintings have been included in this unique collection and are currently decorating its walls. One of them, „Almost Night“, was awarded as the artwork of the week.

VI edition of the LADIES vs GENTLEMEN tournament, which took place in Sobienie Królewskie, was won by gentlemen. And because gentlemen love art, one of the awards of the event was my watercolor entitled „Line“.
I am glad that it is in good hands.
