"There are artists whose works immediately attract the attention of the viewer. One feels that there is something in them. Something that moves, that leaves a lasting mark in the viewer. You don't need to be an expert in ancient and modern art, you don't need to have knowledge of iconography or workmanship techniques. One approaches a work of art and immediately knows that it is good. Good and true. The artist who creates such works is Stanislaw Brach." (Aleksandra Skorek)
