The first painting in "SELF" series.
One of a kind original piece
Acrylic on Paper 300g/m²
42x56cm
The house has always been a very significant symbol for me. It both made me dream and disappointed in my dreams, encouraged me to move in search of the right place where it would be calm and cozy. And in a slightly strange way, the calmness came not from external attributes, but when I built a house inside my psyche. I'm not afraid to say that this construction changed my life. This is why I started painting houses and will continue to do so in the future. Exploring inner landscapes fascinates me, and creating a new painting in this series is like opening a new part in my personal spiritual town.

About series of artworks "SELF"
Self is a series of artworks that turned out to be an answer to the question "Who am I? In the search for this mysterious self, I had to dig up a whole bunch of fragments, revise each of them, and then build something new out of the pieces.
The house (more home as a house) is the symbol from which the search began. The goal was to build something in my psyche that would hold all my pieces together, brick by brick.
Almost every painting has a word hidden in it that somehow reflects the meaning I wanted to put into it. I don't think words are that important to understanding the artwork, and I try to paint in a way that the works speak for themselves. But a hidden word, like an Easter egg, is a nice bonus that I like to leave for the viewer, and I hope they have as much fun finding it.
