O mnie
For Andrzej Głuszek, "painting is, above all, synonymous with freedom, and that's why perhaps each of his paintings appears as a distinct entity." This unclear relationship between freedom, broadly defined, and the perception of each work as a singular and separate work gains some clarity when we understand the artist's goals and the mechanisms governing the creative act. Andrzej Głuszek, as he himself claims, strives to discover new areas and previously unexplored spaces, which can only be reached through painting. He desires to create for himself and the viewer the opportunity to commune with everything unrecognizable, unnamed, ephemeral, and elusive. The encounter with this mystery, this unknown, or even other reality, actually occurs twice. The first occurs in the artist's mind, when he sharpens all his senses, concentrating on a journey into an unknown reality and yet unexplored territories. The concept born in his head materializes on the surface of the canvas only when the artist admits to himself that his idea hits the mark and is unique.
