Montenegro 2025. Joy of the moment
Visiting new places is a traditional way to awaken inspiration. I was lucky to encounter plants along the way that struck my imagination. These are absolutely new to me forms, lines and sizes served as a catalyst for the invention of new techniques and approaches to painting. The result was a series of works “Montenegro 2025. Joy of the Moment”.
As always, the series is full of experiments. Mainly in wet painting. Here, as never before, the artist’s work is combined with chance, which in itself is very inspiring.
I was careful with wet painting. Ink fades a lot when diluted with water. I am used to controlling the process of painting from start to finish. However, the atmosphere of a holiday on the seashore required something free and carefree, suggested putting worries aside and enjoying the moment. Which, in essence, suits my style and the philosophy that I am guided by. I trusted my intuition and the result was not long in coming. The works of the cycle are quick sketches of local flora, light and airy.
