Mateusz Dabrowski creates objects and spatial installations, he also works in painting, art and design graphics. His abstract objects, open up to different levels of interpretation. He focuses on unobserved reality, illogical reality, objectlessness, environment. He is interested in phenomena such as time, movement, matter. There is no ambiguity in his works, he is more preoccupied with questions than with answers. The materials he uses have their own meaning. He creates forms whose idea is to go beyond their materiality, and often the interactive nature of the works is crucial to the co-creation of meaning and sense.
Dabrowski is interested in the theory of continuous movement, causing constant change, a determined evolutionism. He sets his sculptures in simultaneous motion with minimalist repetition, paraphrasing the work of a living organism.
