Warsaw - the war I saw
"The War I Saw" - A Poetic Glimpse into Warsaw's Silent Sentinels
Delve into the frozen beauty of Warsaw in 2019 with "The War I Saw" photo series, an evocative exploration of analog photography captured during a chilly January. Within this captivating collection, the artist unveils a world untouched by human presence, where sculptures from the city's parks, open spaces, and cemeteries become the eloquent narrators of an untold tale.
Amidst the silent streets and varying daylight, each photograph immortalizes stillness and solitude, inviting viewers to ponder their own inner struggles. The series bears a subtle pun, humorously intertwined with the artist's personal experience during their visit.
As the artist shares their introspective journey, "There were times in my life when I thought there were wars that I would win if I resisted and even fought for it. In fact, there was no war, no trial, no victory. I didn't even have an interlocutor."
Embark on a soul-stirring voyage where silence speaks volumes and statues echo the emotions we hold within. Through the lens of "The War I Saw," explore the profound serenity of a cityscape untethered by human presence, inviting you to reflect on the battles and victories that lie within your own heart.
Connections
Connections is a series of three photos. Our quest to connect/connect with others - and with ourselves - is a comment on our disconnections, ignoring approaches.

The "Gentle Blues" photo series was created by reproducing and combining found postcards, posters, and classic pictures with back-lens manipulation techniques.

Found and Told
I scanned the dia positives that came out of the box that I bought years ago while visiting the flea market, and years later when I found them at home. There was no information about who the attractors or the first owners were.
Spoilage occurred due to long periods of stay in unsuitable storage conditions, and some even had small insect corpses. I also share with you my respect for her beauty without any digital or manual intervention!
