		BIOGRAPHY     PAINTINGS     TEXTS ON THE NATURE OF THINGS AND REALITY CREATED IN PAINTING (OWN PAINTING) (EXCERPTS) PAWEŁ LEWANDOWSKI-PALLE [...] I am absolutely in favour of creation. Reminding oneself that art is an intellectual discipline does not seem right here. The nature of things and reality created by a painter is his/her painting, or to use a safer term, paintings. [...] A painting should keep some mystery, because a painting is itself a mystery. Painting is participation in the sacred. Painting should be a metaphysical proposal or at least border the metaphysical. Metaphysics is a necessity. I try to touch it by creating today a painting from the simplest elements: planes, lines, geometric figures -mainly rectangles and triangles, different density square structures. The philosophy of my present painting is based on the structure of proportion of a painting's elements. This painting is supposed to be as simple as possible. I am aware of the non-existence of the ideal world; however, using the way bordering the structures of the idealistic world of the Platonic philosophy is exciting, intriguing, and chooses harmony. For me the most important issues are colour, space, light, and structures. Their weight varies in particular paintings. Relationships of elements of the painting's construction reflect aspiration to give it the maximum strength. I synthesize in search for monumentality, but also intimacy. [...] The purpose of painting is not the technical virtuosity and perfectionism, but the self-awareness of full expression of a painter leads paintings to perfection. There is a place for spontaneous action, expression in the logical construction of surface. Fragmentary recognizable tones are a pretext to consideration on the level of abstraction, metaphor or other means of expression. Particular elements of a painting may function as symbols of certain realities.
