Paweł Śliwiński conjures up worlds of amazing intensity and beauty. Choosing the classical theme of a landscape, he engages in dialogue with art history and alludes to assorted styles and directions in Polish painting of the second half of the 20th century. Undulating organic forms emerge from under visible brush strokes and colour stains varying in intensity, triggering associations with nature following her own rules. The landscape also features traces of nature from the artist’s own homeland, the Polish-Ukrainian borderland.
