How do you understand them being an Artist with a capital A, for many years developing the highest level of painting viewed with undisguised delight even by those who - like me - cannot give a professional assessment and what is your attitude to this unpleasant and common phenomenon?<\/strong><\/p><p class=\" translation-block\">Let me put it this way: the worse, the more expensive. The whole problem lies in the fact that we haven't achieved a clear division of the art market like what we observe in the West or even in the United States, where there is <span style=\"color: #d5b252\"><em>Modern Art<\/em><\/span> - encompassing abstraction and other contemporary art forms, installations, and the like, and <span style=\"color: #d5b252\"><em>Fine Art<\/em><\/span> - referring to noble or classical art. In Fine Art, craftsmanship prevails, maintaining certain rules and a distinct set of principles without mixing styles. However, in our country, it looks different: I remain astonished when I observe the works that are sold in galleries and auction houses. To some extent, this can be attributed to the shortcomings of our education system.<\/p><p>The counterbalance is the United States, which has master studios. You don't need to graduate from the academy if you can afford to pay for a course with a master who specializes in portrait, genre, or Indian painting. There are also associations: if the delinquent has reached a certain level, then he tries to get to that level. Great masters gather, evaluate, accept or not accept. It is known - if he is received - the value of his works is automatically on the art market within a certain price range from now on.<\/p><p>We do it on a free American basis. There are many people engaged in art who do not have any special predispositions for it, but they have great ambitions. I am not relying here only on my own, but also on the observations of the environment. At the same time, I am also not in favor of an academy or an art school deciding about talent, exhibiting or functioning on the market. I think talent is an indicator. I exhibit with my friends who graduated from the AGH University of Science and Technology and other universities or even distilling, and at some point they wanted to paint and now they are doing great, succeeding internationally, so the university does not guarantee anything - it only allows you to get acquainted with various techniques such as posters, graphic design or workshop graphics. It's a bonus that it gives, apart from the fact that you have these five years to find and define yourself.<\/p><p class=\" translation-block\">Currently - as I mentioned - we have <span style=\"color: #d5b252\"><em>Open Class<\/em><\/span> and our market requires solid criticism. Unfortunately, it just so happens that authorities like <span style=\"color: #d5b252\">Franciszek Starowieyski<\/span> or <span style=\"color: #d5b252\">Jerzy Duda-Gracz<\/span> and similar figures have passed away. They had the courage to speak about the works of other artists and also provide justification for why they liked certain creations more or less, while assessing the technical level of a given artwork.<\/p><p class=\" translation-block\">I not only strive towards realism but also appreciate very good abstraction, although there is much less of it compared to good realism. These are the times we live in. It slightly reminds me of what I call <span style=\"color: #d5b252\">watercolor technique<\/span>. We've been painting with watercolors since childhood in school, and it seems easy, but watercolor as a discipline is a very challenging technique. A single mistake and the sheet goes into the trash, so the situation is what it is. We will see how it will continue to develop.<\/p><p><strong>And isn't it so that people avoid this healthy criticism mentioned by you, so as not to be accused of bad intentions and online hate?<\/strong><\/p><p>When showing creativity in social media, we must take into account that it will be subject to verification. Only there is a difference between a discussion taking place, say, on Messenger, and the one when someone takes it out on a public forum. The range of social media is very extensive and criticism is often confused with criticism, and the point is not to hurt someone or discourage creativity, but to help by giving good advice for the future.<\/p><p><strong>You have devoted practically your entire conscious life to painting. If - unexpectedly - which God forbid - you lost your precious gift, given only to a few, what would you become? The days of chivalry he dreamed of as a little boy are long gone, and the dragons are gone...<\/strong><\/p><p class=\" translation-block\">Honestly, if I were to lose this gift, I might consider focusing on serious essay writing about art. Especially because I have technical and technological knowledge, and I have high-class friends who are experts in this technology and are also exceptional painters. I believe that in such a scenario, I could write essays, making efforts to contribute to the differentiation between <span style=\"color: #d5b252\"><em>Modern Art<\/em><\/span> and <span style=\"color: #d5b252\"><em>Fine Art<\/em><\/span>, that is, classical and modern art forms.<\/p><p>The term art means skill - from antiquity, through the Middle Ages, to modern times. Larger or smaller, more stylized, less stylized, but still a skill - not only manual, but also regarding making decisions about what is happening on the image plane.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6f39b73 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default exad-glass-effect-no wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"6f39b73\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-19310ef exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"19310ef\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9424f6d exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9424f6d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>If you had to decide again - of course without knowing what colors the future will look like - would you become a painter?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p class=\" translation-block\">Absolutely! Without a doubt, painting is a great adventure for me.

To make it more interesting, because each country has its own mentality and aesthetic patterns. It could be very interesting, because everything is our heritage, and art belongs to all humanity. It is the homeland of homelands because we belong to the same trunk, only we have different branches.<\/p><p><strong>What do you think about your popularity? Does it value you in any way, or does it bother you?<\/strong><\/p><p class=\" translation-block\">I was surprised, because I never expected to be a popular person. If someone is interested in art, I naturally embrace it: I paint, create, enjoy interacting with the audience, and love exhibitions. So far, over a hundred thousand people have viewed my aforementioned <span style=\"color: #d5b252\"><em>Lechistan<\/em><\/span> series. Museum curators really appreciate my cycles, so they often commission them.<\/p><p class=\" translation-block\">By exhibiting a few years ago at the State Art Gallery in Sopot (<span style=\"color: #d5b252\">Pa\u0144stwowa Galeria Sztuki<\/span>) (alongside <em>Zach\u0119ta<\/em>, one of the important national galleries), the paintings were seen by approximately seven thousand people, and I was informed that after fourteen years, it was the first time such crowds came to see an exhibition of a living artist. It turned out that before me, it was accomplished by Mr. <span style=\"color: #d5b252\">Jerzy Duda-Gracz<\/span>.<\/p><p>I am glad that the audience comes, that they are fascinated by it, and that I can communicate with them, because that's what matters to me. And I think it's important for every artist that there is an audience who wants to attend exhibitions, who will put on their boots, grab an umbrella, and go to them, rather than just giving a thumbs up or down on Facebook. In other words, when people visit exhibitions in person, it's very good.<\/p><p><strong>Every day I review books, and I often encounter the opinion that writers write books they would like to read themselves. To paraphrase those words: do you paint artworks that you would like to see yourself?<\/strong><\/p><p>In a way, yes, because as I mentioned before, painting is a great adventure. There is an idea that slowly emerges, and I would like to see it come to life. In order to see it, I have to create it. I have my favorite works and also those that are less favored.<\/p><p>Painting is a nice dialogue with one's own talent and personality, and the works can sometimes pleasantly surprise, but sometimes they turn out average.<\/p><p>I don't really think about my work, because I'm a bit of a conquistador type - I like to sail around the field of art and discover the field of my own possibilities. Sometimes it ends really badly, and sometimes something cool happens and then I'm happy.<\/p><p>I would not be able - as some colleagues do - to paint one motif all the time. It's incomprehensible to me. My insides couldn't take it. I need to feel the inner movement and agitation, because -\u00a0 as I have already mentioned - painting is a great adventure and a great pleasure for me, where my task is to give the paintings certain painterly values \u200b\u200band create the world in terms of composition. So I paint what I feel like and what contains a painting problem that I like to solve each time. Sometimes a painting is created only for a batch of certain textures that I want to get under the pretext of a painting problem. It also happens that it is created because of the subject, and the mentioned things appear only during the work. Either way, it's the same stick, only from two different ends I'm aiming for the effect.<\/p><p><strong>Godo Pan \u015bl\u00f3nskom godkom, after all, he lived for many years in Chorz\u00f3w, Silesia? Can we find traces of this in the paintings?<\/strong><\/p><p class=\" translation-block\">Not really. I don't speak the local dialect (laughter). I came to Silesia when I was eight years old, as a Gorol.

I painted, for example, our actress Ewa Zi\u0119tek and several other individuals. To this day, there is a portrait of Ochman in my studio, but it's hard to determine how many I have painted.

I like to feel that someone who looks at the portrait is not entirely sure whether the person in it is completely good or completely evil, and if it is good, there is no justification - it is supposed to result from an inner movement, from this depth ...<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-60d9eef elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default exad-glass-effect-no wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"60d9eef\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2b0bd50 exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"2b0bd50\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a5d6f18 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a5d6f18\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d149573 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;\" data-id=\"d149573\" data-element_type=\"section\"><div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\"><div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-251de6f\" data-id=\"251de6f\" data-element_type=\"column\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a971fa5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a971fa5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><strong>Or maybe each of us is in between - a bit of good and bad at the same time?<\/strong><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5f57ccd elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;\" data-id=\"5f57ccd\" data-element_type=\"section\"><div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\"><div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8c768cf\" data-id=\"8c768cf\" data-element_type=\"column\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d2f5fc9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d2f5fc9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><p>Just like we have a left leg and a right leg, I think that time is a measure of which face we show, because a given situation forces you to take a certain attitude, just like in art, which involves making certain decisions.

I would love to \"paint myself\" at last, but for now, I have to dive into paintings because, apart from being the director of the Gallery in Ko\u0142obrzeg on behalf of the Regional Cultural Center, I still need time for my own creativity. For forty years, I've been striving to recapture the techniques of the old masters or at least their understanding, which helps me paint efficiently. However, there are paintings that don't sell, and I spend more time on them. For example, <span style=\"color: #d5b252\"><em>Gorgona<\/em><\/span> took two and a half months to break my old, hindering painting habits and introduce new values. For now, I'm like a travel agency, like <em>Orbis<\/em> on a group tour, seeing this and that. But there are also subjects I set aside for later, looking forward to playing with them, spending six months to a year on a particular painting.

She was given morphine, which caused her to fall into states of dementia, indifference, and lack of empathy. Only when she wasn't under the influence of morphine, she was Jan's former \"To\u015bka.\" This deeply affected Matejko, and this range of emotions did not make it easier for him to run the School of Drawing in Krakow. Gorzkowski noted that Jan regularly entered his studio, trying to paint for two to four hours, to accomplish something. I also apply this work style. I try to paint for one to three hours a day if circumstances allow, or even just drop by for a moment to make a plan and let the surface dry until I close myself off to paint for eight to twelve hours, finishing everything. In my youth, I worked from eight to sixteen hours, but it didn't make sense because then I was exhausted and couldn't paint for three to four days. Now, however, age catches up with me, and I don't have as much strength as before. Nevertheless, I appreciate the routine because it allows me to live calmly and focus on painting, concentrating on artistic and thematic issues.<\/p><p class=\" translation-block\">During the <span style=\"color: #d5b252\">lockdown<\/span>, my colleagues had an advantage because people were confined - we were also locked down here at work - so I was able to draw and compose, finding time for reflection. I must admit that it was quite a nice time for me as well. It was easier for me in a way because I have a government position in a municipal gallery, but access to the market was restricted because the internet alone is not enough. That's why I admire them because despite the serious problems associated with the lack of exhibitions, they managed to come out with style while maintaining a great sense of humor.<\/p><p><strong>You do not hide that you draw your knowledge from the school of Jan Matejko and without a doubt you learned a lot from him by looking at the paintings.

There are ideas and the right time for their realization. I like creating cycles because they don't limit me and prevent me from being pigeonholed. I have created: <span style=\"color: #d5b252\"><em>In the Circle of Man<\/em><\/span>, <span style=\"color: #d5b252\"><em>Sarmatia<\/em><\/span>, <span style=\"color: #d5b252\"><em>Lechistan<\/em><\/span>, and now maybe I will start a new cycle. In the meantime, other symbolic works appear, but it is precisely the cycles that allow me to go wild and break certain conventions or look at them with a fresh eye. For example, <span style=\"color: #d5b252\"><em>Gorgon<\/em><\/span> is a particularly special painting for me because I wanted to convey that evil cannot be defeated, as where there is a strong light, there must also be a strong shadow. However, it can be restrained, captured for a certain time, but it will break free from its restraints again, revealing its cruel face. Because as long as there is good, evil will also continue to exist.<\/p><p>I try to paint regularly. If I have no idea for a series, or if I have some downtime, I do exercises posing a technological problem, or I paint heads while practicing psychology on them, I do a study of hands, or I paint a still life for fun, to which I will gladly come back someday...

His cycle about Silesia is also magnificent. The publication of each <span style=\"color: #d5b252\"><em>Witcher<\/em><\/span> book happened to coincide with the time when I was painting <span style=\"color: #d5b252\"><em>My Sarmatia<\/em><\/span> \u2013 such an accelerating cycle. When I look at it today with a forgiving smile on my lips, I have the impression that they are rather sketches because that's how an oil sketch looks like for me now. But at that moment, I was returning to creative, inventive art, and that satisfied me.<\/p><p class=\" translation-block\">Undoubtedly, Sapkowski has influenced my artistic subconscious, as well as the late American fantasy writer, <span style=\"color: #d5b252\">David Gemmell<\/span>, who, although not writing as hefty volumes as the Americans, had the ability to brilliantly depict landscapes, atmosphere, air humidity, and dread in just three sentences, which only a few can achieve. And today, I have discovered the beauty and power of comics, which my son has infected me with. I am impressed by the works of the illustrator <span style=\"color: #d5b252\">Jim Lee<\/span>, the creator of <em>Batman<\/em>, which resemble my sketches. It's a wonderful thing! It turns out that a team of people is responsible for this comic, including inking, graphics, and coloring. That's why I buy individual issues, leaving out the ones with compositions that interest me, surprisingly derived from the border of the Baroque style. Transferring them to the realm of painting would be a fairy tale! I enjoy watching talented artists who draw suggestively and create magnificent graphics and compositions. For now, I am experimenting with my painting, introducing dynamic and surprising compositions, dragons, and the like. We will see what the result will be.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4390c0b exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"4390c0b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9511a70 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9511a70\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/galeriasopra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Comics.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1214\" alt=\"Comics painting fantasy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/galeriasopra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Comics.jpg 320w, https:\/\/galeriasopra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Comics-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/galeriasopra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Comics-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/galeriasopra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Comics-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/galeriasopra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Comics-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d1311f8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default exad-glass-effect-no wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"d1311f8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-948010f exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"948010f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9ead36b exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9ead36b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Just preparing for the interview, I was surprised to discover that you do not shun the world of Fantasy - which I value very much in literature.

I appreciate the simple life I lead, as long as I can paint peacefully.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-de38085 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default exad-glass-effect-no wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"de38085\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ae6e61d exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"ae6e61d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2301c8e exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2301c8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"226\" src=\"https:\/\/galeriasopra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Malarstwo.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1211\" alt=\"Malarstwo Dariusza Kalety\" srcset=\"https:\/\/galeriasopra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Malarstwo.png 320w, https:\/\/galeriasopra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Malarstwo-300x212.png 300w, https:\/\/galeriasopra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Malarstwo-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cf4e701 exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"cf4e701\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ff4c5c exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7ff4c5c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>The audience can see your paintings, exhibited both in Poland and abroad: in Germany, the USA, France\u2026 In which other countries would you like to present yourself and for what reason?<\/strong><\/p><p>As for France, I have only exhibited older works there, but I would present myself wherever there was a desire to see, regardless of the country.<\/p><p><strong>Space travel has recently become fashionable.
