Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

I have graduated Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow in 1996 where I had perfecting my in born artistic skills of putting beauty into form.

Later, for a few years I have worked as a designer. My consciousness has been slowly waking up by the feeling that something in my life is not quite right and I knew that I cannot live the way I have lived any more.
A deep longing for freedom has brought me to a ceremony of a shamanic medicine called Ayahuasca. The experience had revealed to me that I am something bigger than the person I have assumed I am only. I have discovered that I am an eternal, limitless, vibrating with peace and ecstasy- Love. This realization unveiled the alive and authentic desire for sharing my discovery with others through the form of painting. I have started to create a bright, colourful, vibrant with energy- visionary paintings.

My heart’s desire was to experience myself and the world as Love in everyday life. Guided by trust to life- I have found myself on a meetings where in the stillness of silence I have discovering with other people a deeper reality of our existence. That period and chapter of my life have resulted in a series of paintings called “Paintings of Silence” and a six months visit in India.

Nowadays I am learning how to integrate an awakened consciousness with the beauty of everyday living and how to express my innermost truth through the love in my art, my life and in interactions with other beings.
