Two monumental comlexes dominate this exhibition. It is a winter and a night landscape. Each of them contains 48 canvases, in which the author experiments with visual impact of painting.

This year I have been working on bigger units
that are composed as landscapes.
Every painting is a kind of entrance into the space for me.
It is a view from interior of exterior.
The most important concept for me was perception.
For perception I understand here an action of observing.
I have intended to transfer it into the character of the painting.
Every painting represents an action unit that
is composed into a particular painting.
Every painting has its epicentre, its energy
and it participates on the complete painting.
Furthermore, I want the paintings to be able to work as a part of architecture,
to be able to communicate naturally with the space.
I would like to explain why the segmentation is important to me.
I have already spoken about the view of exterior that
is confirmed by the fact that the structure creates kind of pattern
and it becomes a body we observe.
The body is painted from behind.
I paint the construction or the back of the painting.
I paint some objective fact through which you look at some illusion.
In the other painting the morphology has disappeared.
I have intended to take advantage of my previous experience in abstract painting.
I would like to continue in this way.
I would like to get rid of my mode I took over from architecture.
I want to put away the monumentality, and simultaneity of lines
and character composition of the painting segmentation.
Those small pictures are my "secondary" works.
However, they are important to me.
They may represent impulses over against my planned work.
I think they belong here.
They refresh the gallery space.

Here you can express yourself.
