Statement

|
I was born in Poland in 1958 and emigrated to England in 1989. I am an amateur photographer, however I also enjoy working with computer generated photography and painting, which is my favourite medium. Painting is part of everything I do now and I hope you will take the time to look at this site.
I'm a very enthusiastic artist and I'm interested in every medium. As part of my Art Course I started with ceramics went on to photography and finally computer experimentation. Painting, especially in oils is my favourite medium. I can completely lose myself in my art, there are no boundaries, no restrictions, my imagination takes me into an unknown world of colour and fantasy. I'm extremely influenced by dramatic contrasts of light, shade or shining, reflecting surfaces in nature. I like to capture the moment on camera, scan it onto my computer to design my final piece.
************************************************************************** Two of my paintings was short-listed for the SAA International competition, the Artist of the Year Awards 2000 and 2001.
*********************************************************** ***************
Now one from my photographs is shortlisted in the photographic competition for Visions of Science, which was organised by Novartis and supported by NESTA.
The photograph "Boiling Watter" will be exhibit in two sets touring the UK from October 2003 and throughout 2004
