    The Memory of Place - My Memory. Study of the Town Rydułtowy | 2012 - 2014

Paintings defended as a diploma in the Studio of Painting of professor Kazimierz Cieślik. Works depicting places, which I was a part every day, my dailylife. I immortalise these places the way I and my generation will remember them. Every of the "Along the Railway" works depict places on the road between my house and the train station in Rydułtowy, the road I faced every day durning my studies. Now these paintings are not only my personal memories of it, but the memory of me myself, durning the times that are gone, the reality I no longer contribute.
