This clock captures the idyllic world of my childhood through its shapes and candy-like colors. It truly means a lot to me. For the dial, I used a photo by Gunnar W. Christensen, who documented PKP stations and rolling stock in the 1970s. This is

Dynów Market Square. I’m beginning to realize that almost any fragment of reality, drawn long and carefully enough, ultimately becomes surreal. This meticulous attention to detail, tonal value, and shadows is essential. It reveals the strangeness

The mystery of Dynów. What matters most to me now is creating SITUATIONS in my drawings. When I was young, I wanted to be a film director. It didn’t work out. I made a few art documentaries that almost no one noticed. Now I draw, and I feel more
