NANO is the name of the painting series that have been carried out since December 2022. It is an augmented painting. I visualize my idea of the smallest possible particle of matter, a nanoparticle – one billionth of a meter. Working with micro-macro scales is an attempt to touch upon what is invisible to the naked eye, facilitating reflection on the structure of the universe. When the nano-fragment is enlarged, the space between individual particles is filled with vacuum. To me, this is the space for fantasy. Imaginary shapes and organic structures are „suspended” in black that absorbs 99,4% of light or composed on white canvases.

Sketches for paintings are created on the basis of previously prepared mock-ups – the result of experiments with various types of materials. The Nano works, however, are primarily abstract images, referring to what is known from reality, but elusive and difficult to recognize.

The titular particles are presented in macro close-ups, expressed through large, aggressive sizes and tiny brushstrokes. This also refers to the way I execute my paintings; mixing colors for a long time and looking for the right tone of a single point – almost in the particles of the paint itself. I am therefore seeking the signs of vitality of passive matter, finding them not only in the painting process, but also in the repetitive rhythm of the projection.

Referring to Mark Rothko’s opinion that painting is like a living organism, some of the works contain projections which are transient, breathing, digesting, crawling, e.g. „Nano 13. Heartbeating”,”Nano 4. Breathing”, „Nano 1. Counterclockwise time.”
