Paintings

The theme of my paintings is migration as a universal human condition and as a biographical/political necessity. I am interested in personal stories of migration from East and South to West and North, and in the migratory culture that develops on the peripheries of capitalist centers. I base my paintings mainly on family photos sent to me by my father, who emigrated from Poland to the USA in the 80s. The state of being in-between cultures and places and maintaining long-distance relationships is what I call the migratory condition, which shapes the life possibilities of individuals, forms of familiality, and the character of entire societies. I understand migration as a point of arrival rather than a temporary state, as a fluid identity and as a statement.
