"Usually I do not have any principles before painting a paint, I do not design it, I do not endeavour to realize, visualize any idea in order to convey it to others. A painting is an award for me - a surprise which arises from improvisation with a shape, colour, light and texture. Just like reality is not explicit for people, I try to make my paintings, contrary to appearances, to have as many meanings as many members of the audience there are.
If I were asked "why figurative?", I think I answered just like I answered at the diploma thesis defense: "... if I were a square, I might take up geometric abstraction." Krzysztof Iwin
