What is my art?
Symbolic-metaphysical painting is a movement that combines deep symbolic and spiritual meanings with a search for the mysterious sense of existence. In such works, paintings become carriers of hidden ideas that transcend literal reality, instead leading the viewer into a world full of metaphysical questions about the nature of being, life, and death.
Artists of this movement use symbols that not only represent specific concepts but also point to deeper, unseen dimensions of reality. These works often blend religious, mystical, and philosophical elements, creating a space where the material and spiritual aspects of the world collide.
In this type of painting, strong emotions and creative intentions dominate, aiming to capture the essence of things beyond the reach of ordinary, everyday experience. The value of such works lies not only in their visual appeal but primarily in their ability to prompt the viewer to reflect on the elusive and the unknown.

PAINTING CYCLES
Symbolic-metaphysical art, expressed through acrylic painting, is a vibrant manifestation of rich forms, intricate color harmonies, and sophisticated compositions. This movement delves into the realm of the unseen and the transcendental, where every brushstroke and every layer of paint creates a profound dialogue between matter and spirit. The use of vivid, subtle color tones and dynamic shapes creates a visual symphony, where each element works in harmony to convey deeper metaphysical truths.
The canvases are filled with complex, opulent harmonies that reflect a journey beyond the surface, inviting the viewer to explore layers of meaning and symbolism. The meticulous details, created with exceptional precision, require time and dedication, revealing the artist's pursuit of capturing the essence of a world that transcends ordinary perception. Through the careful arrangement of these symbolic elements, the painting becomes a portal to a higher realm, evoking reflection on existence, the unknown, and the metaphysical forces that govern our reality. This art form does not simply seek aesthetic pleasure but aims to provoke introspection and contemplation through its carefully constructed visual language. The process of creation itself becomes a spiritual endeavor, where the artist's hand tirelessly works to uncover a complex, symbolic universe within a single canvas.
"Just as a flower grows from a plant, a work of art should naturally arise from a human being"
– Witkacy
I trust the ambiguity of the message, which simultaneously achieves harmony and unity. The image has a given moment, which is the beginning, then the artist takes it through the moment of creation, and then the apparent ending, so that finally the image changes its meaning regardless of the creator - it allows itself to be embraced by the viewer, who gives it subsequent meanings.
Why am I painting?
I paint to give vent to overlapping thoughts, colors that often delight me, I love leaving a mark on the canvas and surprising myself with new solutions. The creation of a new object that gives vent to my emotions is probably the greatest happiness that fate has bestowed upon me. My impatient temperament is mixed with discipline and conscientiousness.
ARCHIWUM
“looking at their paintings, one is just as out of life
and death, beyond happiness and misfortune,
in a detached world of absolute beauty” – Witkacy
Working on a painting must be an effort, because only when the whole person is completely involved in the creative process, great works can be achieved. An artist must give himself completely. Paintings of Pure Art are created by trying to find harmony, find peace in chaos, find a way out of a problem, understand something in something seemingly incomprehensible, create something seemingly illogical, and despite its indeterminacy of criteria, logically beautiful.
Praca nad obrazem musi być wysiłkiem, bo tylko zupełne wciągnięcie całego człowieka w proces twórczości daje wielkie dzieła. Artysta musi oddać się cały. Obrazy Czystej Sztuki tworzy się próbując znaleźć harmonię, odnaleźć spokój w chaosie, odnaleźć wyjście z problemu, zrozumieć coś w czymś pozornie niezrozumiałym, stworzyć coś pozornie nielogicznego, a mimo swojej nieokreśloności kryteriów logicznie pięknego.
