Sławomir Pawszak

For Sławomir Pawszak, the choice of non-representative painting as a means of creative expression is a deliberate, well thought-out decision. His pictures do not refer directly to reality – even though they may easily broaden your imagination – as they are suggestive in their open form. They belong to the abstract trend which looks for inspiration in the micro-world. They are enlargements of the barely visible signs from the surroundings. His painting has a certain seriousness, typical of works immersed in the history of art and responsible to the medium at the same time. Pawszak’s pictures are brilliantly composed, i.e. painted, as in the full and original meaning of the word. They have a concept, but are not over-conceptualized, they are sometimes ascetic, but never simplistic. Always open for a range of interpretations. The alluring aesthetics of amorphic forms hides an analysis of the unseen or barely visible. This struggle for painting is a magnifying glass which shows seemingly unimportant, small worlds, concealed behind the imposed essence of perceived reality. It is a ceaseless love affair with the pure activity of painting, based on the traditional foundation – watching the world with full awareness of the significance of this action and profound belief in its sense.
