Silence

“Silence” captures a woman in a fleeting moment of peace and serenity. The time has come to a standstill. In a hectic world, taking pause provides a larger perspective on life.

Looking at or looking for myself? For an artist Jacek Jędrzejczak those two perpectives seem inseparable and equally important in a process of self integration and identification. The videoart „Looking… myself” is about human heterogeneity.

Secondly

Snap

Exoneration

DIALOGUES WITH HERACLITUS

The core of my artwork is my perennial fascination of nature and structure of fire. It’s double nature (destructive force and life-giving warmth) is a condition of life and impulse for changes, admired and analyzed by me. I found a feed for my fascination in the philosophy of Heraclitus of Ephesus, a greek philosopher.

NUDE DESCENDING THE STAIRCASE CONTINUOUSLY

This work is an artistic dialog, a visual artwork freely referring to Duchamp’s piece of art in a way based on capabilities of using a movie technique. An inspiration by other artists artworks is not an element present in my creative output but figure of this artist is very important not only for me but also for a “creative process” understood extensively and universally.
