The latest pieces deal with issues related to the identity of the painting, the identity of the place and the influence of mentality (cultural context) on the reading of a visual work. The idea is to present the same and twin works in Japan and Poland. At +1art, in the Jan Tarasin Gallery in Kalisz, and in my studio at 16 Grottgera Street in Poznań.
An important approach will be the direct inspiration of 'everyday life', e.g. the experience of living in the space of several languages, the influence of mental (psychological) processes on the understanding of space, or the use of physical quotations - fragments of reality (e.g. the space of the studio) in relation to the painting.
