Piotr KOLANKO (1987)
Master of Arts 2013. WSUR, student of Graphic Design at the Academy of Fine Arts Cracow, participant in many exhibitions. "Even in the simple geometric form of the cone, there are an infinite number of variants of its representation. Why resort to more developed forms, when any solid subjected to an unlimited number of variations can describe the intricacy of our reception of the universe? The dependence of an object on its environment, complementing each other, gives the possibility to shape an inexhaustible number of solutions. This synthetic thinking about environments of geometric solids, relations of space and symbols, has accompanied me for several years, forcing me to form more and more new objects, paintings, graphics and installations. In my work, I do not limit myself to taking up a single theme, but I am increasingly willing to abandon the surrealist narrative in favor of 'Raw Form', dressed in personal color moods. In the creative process, the role of intuition is important to me. In every project, even if it has a specific technological framework, as in the case of an installation, there must be room for free creation, multitasking. The same principle applies to painting and printmaking. Despite existing in a specific form, the desire to create many variations of it is active in me. The subject matter of my works is symbolic. The artwork is a phantasm in which an alternative life, symbols, forms and meanings take place."
