Coming back…

Photo by K. Skonieczna
Yep. Want to say ’sorry’. Please – do accept that…lemon as a gift… and things like that… Don’t know why actually, don’t know what for. Yet – feel it’s a right thing to do.
No, I’m not going to assure you with woolly excuses (‘have been busy’ and stuff like that), instead – [...]

Oh, Passion – where are thou?

Where is that deadly enemy,
that incurable insanity,
that curse, fire, Devil, power, tempest…
All forces of Nature and Man,
untameable, devouring, eternal…

Religions, indifference [...]

Krakow (1)

Krakow Series. Krakow, 2005 (Nikon, digital)
On the black gate there is a small inscription (in Polish) – Street Bar “Just sit down and watch”. It’s very characteristic for Krakow-made sense of humour and corresponds well with the figure of an “elegant” bohemian man.
And there is another key to the scene hanging on the window: [...]

Drawing – Introduction

Considered to function among the most intimate, personal of all arts drawing is often defined in many different ways.
Drawing appears to be an act of mark making, a product of that act, a vehicle for visual expression, a skill of seeing things as they are (copying reality), extracting an essence from a drawn object, [...]
