Gold - Intimacy (2024) Kolaj Jakub Kossakowski (Art After Hours) tarafından

Closeness is intimacy. Nothing is as intimate as the unbreakable bond between two loving people: mother and child.

The leitmotif of the "Golden" series is TIME. Time that passes inexorably, exposing us to various trials and experiences, the fruits of which accumulate within us.

I have always been inspired by the story of a particular person, an individual. We are the sum of all possible experiences - they define us, build us up, patina us, change and transform us. There is so much going on inside of us! It's not true that you can't be sad and happy at the same time. It's not true that you can't experience opposite emotions at the same time. You can, because that's how we are made.
We have many layers of this infinity within us. The infinity of layering. And that's what inspires me. I want to show it. Hence, similar leitmotifs recur so often in my works: eyes, swirls and loops. We swirl inside ourselves, we build up....

Therefore, my natural choice was to combine the techniques of painting and collage. Fragments of pages that are half a century old, shreds of objects that build the whole... And on top of them, more and more layers.

Sometimes it's more important what you can't see, what is already obliterated and covered, than what you see on top. I like mystery, because every person has his own hidden one - sometimes hidden even from himself! However, even the heaviest baggage of experience can shine in us and be a source of light, if only we use it well. That's why you can find both patina and gilding in my works.

I feel that I paint TIME.
