color caught in a shift transmission of one hue to another | gradient
Before architecture I always wanted to study art. I studied architecture instead, in Poznań and now in Cracow, and it made clear what I want to pursue: color and the gradient.
What holds me is transition: one color passing into another, one feeling into another. The gradient is a metaphor of change.
I make abstract paintings: color absorbed directly into unprimed canvas. I’m drawn to the moment before a color becomes a name, when it is still pure sensation. The pigment is poured and moved by gravity; what matters is what I leave alone. I want the viewer to slow down, and to feel without needing to explain.
