Natural resemblance

Often, we come across images which have very little in common regarding their subject, yet which seem to be closely resembled. It is a sort of unintentional recollection, where retained images in our memory appear in newly encountered situations, phenomena, or objects. Some might call it Déjà vu. Subconsciously similar motifs draw one's attention. Individual elements of compositions, or colour combinations, all bring deeply embedded memories of past experiences. The set of photographs evolved from images collected over the years, taken in different locations and at different times.

I was born in Poland in 1980 and graduated from the University of Silesia with a Masters in Fine Arts in 2005.  I use my camera to transfer and materialise the emotions which develop in my mind, the excitement caused by encountered reality. Sometimes the photos can abstract from reality, showing different aspects of colours and forms, whereas other times they can simply reflect certain situations taking place in front of my camera.
