A few words about the paintings from the series "Vistula Landscape".
"In 2010 I painted the first two paintings of the series "Vistula Landscape". They were awarded in a painting competition entitled "Polish Landscape" organized by the I. J. Paderewski Cultural Foundation in Cracow. I donated both paintings to a charity auction organized by the Aperio Association for children with autism.
Over the next few years, I return to the subject of the Vistula River from time to time, and since 2019, the subject has become a river theme for me, jokingly speaking.
I live in Krakow's Zwierzyniec district, close to the Vistula boulevards, where I often go for a walk while observing the river. Here, being in the city, you can feel the closeness of nature. The river visually, for me, is a combination of reality and abstraction. This is how I depict it in my paintings in a painterly way. I paint by thickly applying paint. I take advantage of the accidental blending of individual layers of paint. I believe that in the randomness there is a certain element of intuition.
