"If I were to look for sources outside myself in my work that have significantly influenced the language I use in my works, I would mention without hesitation the notions of Witkacy's "pure form" and Leszek Kolakowski's state of "metaphysical horror". The most important thing is to evoke this one and only metaphysical feeling in myself in order to awaken it later in the viewer, so I work emotionally, almost naively."
