HELLO!
It happened again. The very same thing which happened in case of works like dreaming in the meadow, or a ghostly presence's stroll. Once again I got inspired by photo from tiny thin book with aphorisms (e.g., "True freedom is to have power over oneself for everything." by Michel de Montaigne). Well, to be precise two photos were my inspirations this time.
 |
| First of the mentioned photos - a landscape with 2 trees. |
 |
| Second of the mentioned photos shows a laid table among the flowers. |
HELLO!
Here's a woman. Her face remains unknown as she's rear-faced to viewer. She's focused on a landscape beneath her.
This is a vision I draw on a paper recently. Soon I felt a need to do something interesting with it.
By "something interesting" I meant using pastels (both dry and oil), and also watercolour crayons. I craved to experiment with them.
I started with dry pastels. Then I used watercolour crayons for womanly silhouette.
HELLO!
This year I created a poem inspired by a view I saw during the stroll in one of the parks in Cracow. I saw a quite lovely pond with a small island. There was a really big willow on this island.
The original title of mentioned poem is wśród wierzbowych włosów. HERE You can read this if You want to. I translated this poem in order to make it a part of the Poetic Graphics series, and show it on a specially designed background.
Below there is an effect of my work.

HELLO!
Back in 2014 I travelled to Tatra mountains in order to see Morskie Oko. The beauty of the lake was mesmerising, and this journey inspired me to wrote a poem Poszukiwacz skarbu. Here you can read an original poem if you are interested.
It's really old poem. Recently I thought it would be a good idea to translate poem, prepare a special background for it, and made it a part of the series the Poetic Graphics.
Hope You will find it enjoyable.

HELLO!
Occasionally, I find a strange pleasure in taking photos of trees. There's something fascinating in staring at complex trees' branches as they try to reach the sky. It's a usual thing for me to experiment a little with these photos in graphic software.
This is why this post came into being - I've created another surreal graphic based on a photo which you can see below.
 |
| I took this photo during the stroll in January 2024. |
HELLO!
Lately I was experimenting with combining random colours into abstract graphics.
One of those graphics which you see below gave me a vibe of sunset.
 |
| There's no title, graphic. |
Got to like this graphic so I decided to continue work with There's no title.
HELLO!
A year ago I wrote a poem inspired by Yuki Kajiura's composition the Main theme of Petit Cossette. This beautiful & moody piece of music made me think about the dark sky and blusterous storm.
The poem I wrote is named symfonia grozy and you will be able to read it HERE.
Today I'd like to show you a pastel created on the basis of a poem, and also a translation of mentioned poem - the symphony of terror.
ENJOY!

HELLO!
Sometimes I find a pleasure in experimenting with photographies and turning them into graphics.
This time I'd like to show a graphic called the Wise Man which was based on an old photography.
 |
| the Wise Man, graphic. |
As you can see I used contrasting colours which gave quite interesting effect.
The main inspiration was an old photography. It shows a sculpture of an old man which was a part of the pulpit in church. Unfortunately I don't remember which church was that, and in which city of the Lower Silesia this church was located.
Although I've got a hunch I could have taken this photo in Ziębice.
 |
| Mentioned photography which was made on May 2015. |
That's all.
What do you think about the Wise Man?
Feel free to share your opinion in comments section.
Have a Nice Day!
HELLO!
Almost a year ago I wrote a poem about a very specific and fresh smell which appears after raindrops touch the soil. It is called petrichor (this word is created from greek words signifying "the rock" and "a substance which is running through the gods veins").
Original version of petrichor you can find on my blog with poems.
Below there's a translation of petrichor as a part of the series "the Poetic Graphics".

Hello!
Well, I made an another surreal graphic which is based on a photo showing the trees.
Nature can be so inspiring!
A photo in question is visible below.
 |
| Photo shows a certain park. I've took it in Autumn 2015. |
And here, look below at the result of my experiments.
HELLO!
A story of today's work started with an inconspicuous doodle.
 |
| Probably it was doodled in 2019. |
I couldn't forget about a lady with a blue bun because of her monochromatic blouse. It may sound immodestly but I liked design of this blouse, and thought it would be a mistake to not draw it again.
For a long time I was wondering how should I portray a lady wearing geometric blouse.
There were ideas to show her in some abstract dimension or in a mysterious interior in which she leans against a harp. I rejected them when I noticed a photo showing Duomo di Amalfi. Cathedral drew my attention with its marvellous deep porch.
Window of mentioned deep porch inspired me to such an extent that it became a background in my picture.
Hello!
In today's post comes another part of cycle the Poetic Graphics. Below you will find an english version of poem concerning an idea which... Disappeared very quickly...
Annoyingly enough. 😒
THERE you will find original poem.
 |
| the Poetic Graphics: Once upon a time there was an idea, graphic. |
As for a background I wanted to use a blue colour and create an effect of gradual fading.

That's all.
Have a Nice Day!
Moreover,
I wish You a Happy Easter!

Hello!
Yesterday I was searching for an inspiration for backgrounds for the future "the Poetic Graphics". Among all of those old photographies I've found the one from over four years which you could contemplate below.
 |
| I've made this photo in November 2016 during a walk. |
Those trees and their branches looked marvellous. Thanks to them a photography resembles a painting with craquelures.
It looks so fascinating that I started experimenting with photo in graphic software. To be honest I was a bit surprised by the final effect.
Hello!
I was always interested in theories concerning temperaments... I haven't probably mentioned it but this interest influenced my way of portraying personifications of the Four Seasons. I couldn't help but assign each of them to respective humours like sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic and melancholic. Today I would like to focus on the last one of them because showing a view on Melancholy belonged to one of my aims.
So let's start with the earliest sketches with the ideas for Melancholy's portrayal.
I chose to show the allegory of Melancholy as a tired, worried and thoughtful woman. Next I draw her on paper. Firstly I wanted to use a black pen for outlines but I've changed my mind.
Hello!
🐟
I experimented a bit... Again.
A graphic you're able to see below was formed from an old doodle of mermaid (I can't explain why but I sometimes like to draw mermaids) which was carried on a blue background.
