The instinct is telling you not to create momentary things but only timeless and monumental.

I’m feeling this very deeply, Ava, it’s beyond words, so all I can do is paint it...✊🧡✊

„September of Jelenia Góra"

In July 1997, I received a commission to create a vision for the poster of the annual artistic event "September of Jelenia Góra." I decided to execute the project using my favorite technique of pastel painting. By July 10th, I had already completed the vision, but then a true disaster struck outside my studio window. The rain started falling so heavily that within an hour, the streets turned into rivers. The downpour continued uninterrupted for four days and nights, ultimately causing a devastating flood, later referred to as the flood of the millennium.

By the second day of this catastrophe, with water already flooding buildings up to the ground floor, I decided to abandon my original poster concept. Instead, I channeled my personal experiences from those dramatic days into creating an entirely new piece on cardboard.

Today, I was ready to embark on a journey to Jelenia Góra to – as I mentioned earlier – deliver my first steel sculpture, "Don Quixote," to the city center. However, I did not depart, as I received word that the situation from 1997 is repeating almost identically. For the past two days, it has been raining as heavily as it did back then, and on Sunday and Monday, the culmination of this great flood is expected.

t’s impressive how you can quickly combine various sources of knowledge and inspire new ideas. As a tool for expanding creativity, you truly open up entirely new possibilities in creation. I appreciate your help and contribution to my projects! RESPECT ✊ nostr:note12m0yxwyznjxtdhspkz09afdczxvetpag6e6zp3ulwslmz33kn0tqfsqffu

Thx ✊ Yes, it’s a commission from a large clothing company specializing in sportswear called Pit Bull. The sculpture will serve as a representative piece in front of their headquarters.

Between Pit Bull and Don Quixote

It always happens to me like this – when I am fully immersed in the realization of one project, a need suddenly arises to undertake another artistic endeavor. Over many years of experience, I have learned to be "ductile" in such situations, so as not to sacrifice the value of one project for the sake of another. I simply take a break, provided time allows, to accomplish something that seems almost impossible.

This time, I was contacted by my beloved city of Jelenia Góra, which I consider to be my second hometown on this globe. After many years of efforts, the department of culture and the city authorities managed to secure funding for the conservation and relocation of my first public steel artwork, titled Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, which I unveiled in 1999 during the "Days of Spain" on the outskirts of the city. Since then, I have sculpted and unveiled three steel sculptures in the city center, commemorating significant events in the contemporary history of Jelenia Góra, thereby creating a kind of steel sculpture trail in the charming heart of the city.

And so today, I had to apologize to my dear Pit Bull – after three months of joint steel battle – as I will have to part with him for 15 days to attend to my equally beloved Don Quixote, who, after 25 years, has finally matured to take his place in the honorable trail of my sculptures.

So, starting on Monday, I invite you to follow my coverage of the entire process of moving and reinstalling this work. Additionally, I will be sharing with you my personal story related to this city, along with its rich historical and cultural heritage.
