From the Artist…
The marvelous work of up and coming Polish artist Krzystof Wladyka is still up at the gallery, and will hang through the month of May! Don’t miss the chance to see these unique works in person, or to come in and have a second look!
The artist states, on his Animalies Series:
“According to me this world is peaceful and harmonious but being and living in it causes the feelings of nostalgia, sadness and depression. On the one hand additional elements or objects which are get mixed up in this world should have as a task to help characters to survive in their nothingness, but on the other hand they just strengthen me in the feeling of being withdrawn and isolated from the others.
In my opinion, in these days (when the money is more important than the soul’s needs) everybody can identify with the characters from the photos. They might create a moment of reflection and a simple question about the essence of our lives and basic values.
On his love of photography:
“Every time when I take a camera I try to do something special, something unusual what will be different from anything else. That’s why some of my works are incomprehensible, but If you look with your heart, you will be able to find deeper meanings, beauty in simple objects… soul of the photography.
This is the main photography rule which I identify with.”
“Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.”
Don McCullin
