The main field of Dariusz Milinski's artistic activity is oil painting. Partly fairy-tale-like in style, his paintings, reminiscent of the works of Bosch or Breugel, refer to the realities and problems of the surrounding world, as well as unchanging, universal truths about ourselves. In the paintings it is often possible to recognize people from the artist's closest circle and friends woven into the painted worlds created by the artist.
