Jacek Szleszyński is interested in what is happening very far away and what happened a very long time ago or will happen in the future. He read and watch everything about distant planets, galaxies as well as the prehistory of the earth and cosmology. He peeks with his imagination’s eye beyond the horizon of available knowledge and try to broaden his mental horizons.
In his paintings Jacek try to show a fantastic world, which is a combination of dreamy visions, mysterious symbols, non-existent legends. Starting with random spots and brushstrokes, he gradually brings out the hidden characters and the mysterious relationships linking them. On the technical side, Jacek is fascinated by the paintings of the old masters, the Baroque, symbolism and classicism, as well as surrealism. His greatest inspiration is nature. he tries to seamlessly combine images of fantastic creatures with human figures. He looks for common elements in the structure of organisms and in rococo costumes.
“To enhance the effect of the extraordinary, I frame images of the morphological unravelling of nature and culture against cosmic, underwater and sky landscapes in used vintage frames”.
