«Re-construction» is a series of paintings composed from

numerous paintings. This installation, by its open composition,

allows the dialogue between painting and surrounding space.

This project focuses on painting as a technique marking its

importance in the history of art. Today we forgot this incredibly

important influence and role that painting has played in all

areas of art. Often forgotten today, painting has had without

any doubt enormous influence on everything what has

happened in art.

Numerous transparent layers covering motives from today and

from the past, one next to the other, are the metaphor of all

the centuries of history of painting. Re-construction, a tribute

to painting, to the one of today as well as to the one from the

past.

« Graffiti de luxe » is a project inspired by distroyed old walls to be found

everywhere. These old walls impress me by a casual beauty of their

composition, a fruit of collaboration between hooligans and time that

leave their trace and create incredibles images in the public spaces. Being

inspired by this casual creativity I paint elements of walls and I give to

tags, scratches - fruit of simple devastation – the status of piece of art. I

place the distroyed and dirty walls – attributes of poverty in the gallerizng,

exhibitions and clean, elegant living rooms. Taking them out of their

context I draw attention and pay tribute to their qualities.

The golden “graffiti de luxe” is a series of paintings and silkscreen prints

on the pieces of wood covered by the gold leaves. The motives of tags,

scratchs and bruises are symbols of poor districts, but when I place them

on the golden background- always associated with wealth, they get a new

meaning, new quality and ordinary importance. By joining these two

motives –poverty and luxury, I intend to criticise our society which is

blinded by desire of money, where the material status decides about value

of human beeing. It’s also a metaphor of reality of big cities where we can

find extremefind extreme poverty nearby the luxury districts. The project

“Graffiti de luxe” is also a comment to the mechanism ruling the art world,

where art judged as worthless can in one second become most desired

masterpiece.

The place of mural painting is in the public space. However,

today advertising billboards have overtaken this space. The

availability and accessibility of huge prints result in

bombardment of millions of images. Aesthetics of these posters

influences greatly the society, the billboards became the frescos

of today.

It is a dangerous phenomenon given the growing number of

billboards and the random character of images. The question

arises if there is place left for mural paintings in public space,

for painting which demands lot of work, patience and which

distances itself from commercial values.

And it is thanks to mural painting that the city becomes a public

gallery, available for everyone. The project “ murals” is an

attempt to rebuild the fresco tradition. In big cities many

buildings can be found of which walls are perfect to be

transformed in public galleries. In my designs of these modern

frescos I take into account the surrounding, place itself and its

history. Mural painting becomes a weapon against commercial

and incidental character of aesthetics of today.
