Here I want to share with you some of my paintings ( version in tempera technique ).Thanks for your attention, my friends !
I was always fascinated by cosmology and modern physics, I have my favorite collection of books by Georg Gamow with his mister Tompkins, a few books of Niels Bohr, Robert Penrose, Michio Kaku, popularization of Einstein's theory, Arthur C.Clarke, Philip Dick, also Polish fantasy of Stanisław Lem and, of course, several books from S.Hawking. Among the film collections, I particularly value "Space Odyssey" of Stanley Kubrick. These interests accompanied my artistic search, when I created a series of works on optical illusions. This is how I met M.C.Escher and the many illussions in the paintings of S.Dali and late artists from the circle of op-art like G. Vasarely or J. Albers. And all this was created without computers!;-) Art and science - inspirations and influences! People like S.Hawking kindled the imagination and, what is equally important, they gave hope that it's worth using and cultivating even a fraction of our abilities. We still have such people around us:
