ARTIST STATEMENT

The core of my interest is the balance between nature and culture, as represented through visual arts. Nature provides me with a setting or environment to examine area aesthetics. Having abandoned the making of representational work, I developed my preference for objects and installations that require interaction. I have started to work with life. Art, to my mind, should be an investigation similar to science. The most important aspect is the process. The piece of art or exhibition exists for some time and then disappears, as do all living things. It is about asking questions, researching and seeking adventure. A major factor in my work is curiosity. I am interested in relation between natural world and contemporary culture and technology. This is also topic of my PhD study on Warsaw University. I can't know or learn everything, art allows me to use every area of knowledge without specialization. It requires cooperation with scientists and science institutions, what is a place for making relationships between different layers of thinking. I value and appreciate cooperation with people, the transfer of knowledge and sharing experiences.
