"Action painting, with all its might, tears from the depths of the subconscious its shreds, patches, and unformed signals, revealing them directly, without rationalizing processing. It is not a slow and deliberate exploration of the field, but sudden intrusions that seek to reach a nameless sensitivity. It is no longer the subconscious that manifests itself in the light of the consciousness' explanations; it is the consciousness that is confronted with the opacity of the subconscious and forced to face it head-on. (...) Unformed, unspoken psychic contents find their ideal embodiment in this painting: the chaos and elemental force of the form are the chaos and elemental force of the cosmos, and at the same time the primal matter - the undifferentiated forces of the deep layers of the psyche." Alicja Kępińska, "The element and the myth"
This large-format painting belongs to the "Mountain Matter" series, a body of work produced for the artist's diploma thesis at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow.
The works are informed by the artist's personal experiences and emotional responses to the mountains, drawing parallels between the climber's mindset and the creative process. By engaging with concepts such as matter, expression, perception, and the creative act, the artist seeks to offer a novel interpretation of the mountains and the ineffable qualities of both climbing and artistic creation.
