Desert's Dreams
Endless smoothnes and softness, warm light breeze and azzurro. Occasional bird flying slowly around. I am breathing through my skin, I am rolling over and touching warmness. My thoughts are drifting and wandering and I feel tremendously light and serene. My eyes as well as my emotions are smoothly flowing. I feel deeply caressed and I can't get enough of this state of being.
In thirty-five years, Marek has established himself by recalling experimental methods of the early Avant-garde. From analog to digital, Marek developed his visual vocabulary by working with sophisticated processing and printing techniques, both analogue using silver gelatin and digital under glass. Since 2019, his focus has been on creating a significant series of sand dunes photography, presenting colorful dreamscapes with new meanings.
He has presented solo exhibitions at international venues including Galerie am Lindenhof and Curator’s Lab, Zurich (CH), Grand Hotel Campione, Campione (IT), Galerie u Zlateho Kohouta, Prague (CZ), Fitzrovia Gallery, London (UK) and San Quirico d'Orcia (IT). He has received many awards and honorable mentions with TIFA, APA, IPA, Px3, ND Awards, FAPA.

entry description
I love the harmony of sand dunes created by Newton's laws of physics. Through abstraction, I build a subjective interpretation of a pictorial content. A new perspective and color scheme prevent quick recognition and the brain is provoked to read the image anew and establish intimate personal understanding and feelings.Endless smoothnes and softness, warm light breeze and azzurro. Occasional bird flying slowly around. I am breathing through my skin, I am rolling over and touching warmness. My thoughts are drifting and wandering and I feel tremendously light and serene.
