Pen and Ink - a Blend of Emotion and Artistry
Beginning in 1968 Warsaw, my artistic journey through pen and ink drawings commenced amidst personal upheaval. Initially illustrating my poems, these drawings evolved from meticulous studies of Dürer and Rembrandt to unique, imaginative creations. While the first solo exhibition in Stockholm in 1970 marked a turning point, the LSD experience shifted my focus, leading to experiments with diverse mediums.
A Story of my new Drawing Passion
My artistic path in Warsaw was marked by poetry and freelance writing. A book-writing scholarship allowed me to delve into drawing, spurred by the success of my second poetry volume with illustrations by Franciszek Starowieyski. His continuous creativity inspired me to pursue my own artistic voice.
Pen and Ink did not suit my Character
This period was a turning point; from showcasing my drawings in Stockholm's solo exhibition to a transformative LSD experience, leading to a shift from pen and ink to poetry and spiritual exploration. My journey in the Visual Arts truly began in 1973 with Monotypes and evolved into the unique Print-Paintings technique, marking the start of a new chapter in my creative expression.
