An abstract exploration of connection and harmony within the vastness of the universe! The painting features three distinct streaks of red, orange, and yellow that slash through an expanse of deep blue, symbolizing individual entities moving together in a cosmic ballet, their paths intertwined yet separate, painting a portrait of unity against the canvas of infinity.

In the Name of the Spirit, 1983, Oil/Canvas 130 x 150 cm

"In the Name of the Spirit" is dominated by a central white void surrounded by radiant yellow and fiery orange streaks against a tranquil sky-blue background, the artwork might be perceived as a burst of divine energy or inspiration descending from above.

The colors seem to dance and flicker, as if moved by an unseen force, creating an impression of spiritual awakening or revelation.

Polish Fullness, 1982-5, Oil and fire Painting 110 x 120 cm

Polish Fullness

"Polish Fullness" is a profound piece, an oil and fire painting that extends beyond the canvas. The creation process involved not just the stroke of the brush but the transformative power of fire. During the tumultuous period marked by the state of war in Poland, this artwork was born, symbolizing my deep connection with my homeland. The unintentional shaping of the canvas by fire into the country's outline is serendipitous, almost as if destiny itself etched Poland's spirit onto the medium.

At the base of the painting lies a serene childhood landscape, a nostalgic recall from my early memories, which contrasts with the vivid and almost violent rupture above. This juxtaposition between the idyllic and the dramatic captures the essence of a nation’s soul - serene and tumultuous moments entwined in history's fabric.

The wooden cross reinforcement on the back of the canvas not only provides structural support but also symbolizes a backbone of faith and endurance through the trials that the nation faced. The work stands as a testament to the passage of time, the endurance of culture, and the indomitable spirit. "Polish Fullness" therefore is not just a painting; it is a chronicle of a nation's narrative, the beauty of its land, the struggle for its sovereignty, and the perpetual hope for its future.

Angel, 1990, Oil/Canvas 90 x 110 cm

"Angel" is featuring a serene composition dominated by a calming shade of sky blue. At the center of the canvas is a figure that resonates with simplicity and symmetry, its form gently tapering to a point at the bottom.

Above this focal point floats a softly glowing orb encircled by a halo of warm, subtle hues. The use of light and color in this painting suggests a sense of purity and spiritual elevation. The graceful lines curve upwards, akin to outspread wings, giving the impression of an angel in a tranquil ascent.

The soft gradient of colors gives the piece a delicate luminescence, invoking a feeling of peace and the presence of divine energy. The artwork is a visual hymn, an ode to the protective and guiding essence of angelic beings in human spirituality.

Born to fly, 1985, Oil/Canvas 60 x 80 cm

"Born to Fly" prompts introspection about the very essence of being; presents an abstract form, reminiscent of a creature or spirit poised at the cusp of flight. The central luminous figure seems to emerge from the enveloping darkness, symbolizing the awakening of consciousness, or the birth of an idea.

The use of contrasting colors is striking - the deep blues and blacks form a vast expanse that represents the unknown, the universe, the subconscious mind. In contrast, the glowing, ethereal light at the heart of the work seems to pulsate with potential and vitality.

The title "Born to Fly" is a metaphor for the human condition: the soul's quest for freedom, the mind's search for knowledge, the heart's pursuit of the divine. This artwork speaks to the belief that every entity has within it the light of possibility, the wings of potential.

Flying Sun, 1983-85, Oil/Canvas 275 x 200 cm

"Flying Sun" is an expansive oil on canvas painting measuring 275 x 200 cm, created between 1983 and 1985. This piece captures the dynamic motion of a celestial body, rendered with a vibrant spectrum that streaks across a deep, midnight blue backdrop. It evokes the image of a sun, not stationary, but as an active, traveling force, cutting through the cosmos with intent and energy.

The colors flow with a fluidity that breathes life into the painting, each hue seamlessly transitioning into the next, suggesting both the intense heat of a star and the gentle progression of a sunrise. The vast size of the painting invites the observer to consider the enormity of the universe and the constant movement within it, drawing a parallel to the boundless potential of the human spirit when it decides to soar.

Rainbow Signs, 1998, Acrylic/Canvas 130 x 100 cm

"Rainbow Signs" painting presents a celestial orb that is intersected by geometric shapes and lines, suggesting a cosmic form of communication or navigation, as if the universe itself were sending signals through the medium of a rainbow. These vivid, spectral bands contrast with the earth-toned horizontal layers, which provide a grounding balance to the ethereal skyward elements.

The juxtaposition of the natural, flowing curves of the planet and the landscape against the sharp angles and lines hints at the intersection of organic life and the constructed order of society, science, and spirituality. The rainbow, with its connotations of hope and promise, serves as a bridge between these realms, an emblem of the continuity that runs through our diverse interpretations of life and the cosmos.

Spectral White, 1990, Oil/Canvas 90 x 75 cm

Mystic White, 1985, Oil/Canvas 115 x 90 cm

Mystic Connection, 1983, mixed technique Painting 140 x 130 cm

Spectral Attitude, 1993, Acrylic/Canvas 90 x 115 cm

"Spectral Attitude" is a lively celebration of color and form, featuring a central orb that might be seen as a microcosm of the earth itself, cradled within the vivid embrace of concentric rings. These rings radiate outwards, each a spectrum of emotion and thought, suggesting the various layers of energy and aura that surround and permeate our planet and our very existence.

Bold vertical elements disrupt the harmonious flow, signifying the interruptions and interventions of human progress or thought in the natural order. The underlying landscape anchors the composition, a reminder of the physical reality upon which all our spectral musings are based.

The piece invites contemplation on the visible and invisible forces that shape our world, as well as the interplay between nature's organic beauty and the structured patterns we impose upon it.

Blue-green Abstract, 1995, Acrylic/Canvas 100 x 130 cm

This acrylic on canvas painting, titled "Blue-Green Abstract", stands out for its striking visual dichotomy. The artwork is defined by two sharply cut geometric shapes that open up to reveal a vibrant blue-green world within, contrasting boldly against the deep blue abyss that surrounds them.

The vivid shades of green evoke the lushness of life and nature, while the enveloping blue suggests the unfathomable depths of the ocean or the expansiveness of the sky. These two vibrant triangles serve as windows, gateways to another dimension of consciousness or reality.

The texture within the forms is rich and organic, hinting at landscapes or seascapes - scenes from the natural world that are teeming with life, yet abstracted into a form that defies literal interpretation. This piece would be at home in any space that invites contemplation and exploration beyond the visible spectrum.

One Ray for the Sky, One Ray for the Earth, 1992, Acrylic/Canvas 90 x 130 cm

The painting "One Ray for the Sky, One Ray for the Earth" encapsulates the essence of duality and unity, portraying a planet that is delicately balanced by two rays—one reaching towards the sky and the other grounding itself to the Earth.

The celestial body is depicted in warm and cool colors, suggesting a fusion of opposing energies, such as the fiery warmth of life and the tranquil depths of the cosmos. The intersecting rays symbolize the connection between heaven and earth, the spiritual and the material, a reminder of the interconnectedness of all things.

The backdrop, shifting from light to dark, hints at the cyclical nature of existence, the constant flow of day into night, life into death, and back again. It's a visual representation of the balance and harmony that permeates the universe, and a call to recognize and honor the interplay between the different facets of our own lives.
