Presentation

Art Statement

The abstract nature of my paintings is based in my desire to simplify what is perceivable, to leave only what is essential, believing that there is an archetypal ground where we all meet in our human experience.

Underlying my work is an expression of radical freedom. Growing up on the farmlands of communist Poland infused me with a yearning for freedom -- individual, political and spiritual. I immigrated as a political refugee in 1981. My new life in America was the manifestation of that yearning, and imbued me with an empathy for the human desire for freedom of thought, emotion and experience. Painting and its process are the closest I have ever experienced freedom within myself.

My paintings explore color pulsating like a breath of life, between light and darkness. I find the process of painting to be intuitive, making space in the creative process on the canvass to contemplate the inner landscape of the human condition. Like a dance of change and transformation, painting reveals fragments of nature as reflections on infinite possibilities. An evolution from the concealed, to an unraveling confession of manifest, visible reality.

My choice to use simple, natural, and raw materials-- powdered pigment, walnut oil, canvas, wooden stretchers, paper, watercolor-- relates to my desire to maintain a tangible connection in my process to the world from which the materials emerged.
