Summer

Nature never ceases to amaze, it is an endless inspiration. It relaxes, stimulates thinking and action. Images, smells, sounds and light are the essence of human existence. In nature, they are dynamic, constantly changing and difficult to grasp. I paint with the conviction that I will be able to convey the specific atmosphere of each of the seasons seen through my eyes. I want to show my perspective on the landscape, share it with the viewer.

Sensitizing to nature and making us reflect on the essence of our life and transience - these are additional goals of my work. We are a part of nature and we should have special respect for it.

The painting Summer is part of the Four Seasons series, which was part of my diploma thesis at the Faculty of Art at the University of Opole, which I graduated in 2025. It was an attempt to face the space, light and color of different seasons. In the background, Antonio Vivaldi with his illustrative music, stimulating the imagination. I present one of the four concerts, in a painterly edition, which make up "The Four Seasons" with the hope that they will evoke a pleasant impression in the viewers.

The conventional title "Full Summer, When the Sun Is High" at the tempo of allegro moderato - moderately fast (112–124 BPM) close to "the rate of the heartbeat").[1] Horizontal, static composition. A simple frame seen en face from the height of the embankment above the Relief Canal. The irregular footprint on the grass after the passage of unspecified heavy military equipment, probably used during the recent flooding in Opole, seemed interesting to me. It was a conscious means of expression, the purpose of which was to disturb the "pretty picture".

[1] BPM - the number of beats per minute, in contemporary music, the designation of the number of beats per minute for the metronome (e.g. ♩ = 120) can complement or replace the tempo designation. Source: https://www.musicca.com/pl/terminy-muzyczne accessed 16.05.2025
