Fascinated by the strong sunlight contre-jour I decided to keep the color palette limited adn focus on the light effect.

Snow Arrived in the Forest

In the series of snowscapes from my child memories: backlit snowy forrest. Oil painting on stretched cotton canvas

Powdered Forest

Although the reference for this image was shot in Russia (by Alexandr Parkhomenko) it might just as well be the area of eastern Poland where I grew up, with the same majestic river on the border with former Soviet Union. The cotton candy colors of the low hanging sun!

This exhibition paints my journey, from exuberant abstract expressions of my love for light to the nuanced, more representational observations of everyday beauty around me. In words of Mary Oliver: "Real attention needs empathy; attention without feeling is just a report.” Hence, each painting is an attempt to depict the emotion behind my fascination with the scene and to share it with you, the viewer.
