PC building, acrylic on canvas, 160 × 90cm, 2023.

This painting is based on a photo I took while my dad and brother were assembling my new computer. For many years, I used computers that had previously belonged to my brother. The computer depicted in this painting was my first brand-new one. It was meant to help me focus on digital art, video editing, and rendering 3D scenes. This purchase significantly improved both my artistic work and my daily comfort. It's no longer just an object; it's a portal.

Ekrany (Screens), akryl na płótnie, 120 × 100 cm, 2022.

In this painting, I wanted to explore two themes. On one hand, I aimed to juxtapose three types of "framed images" - in the background, there's a window revealing an overexposed image, next to it, an actual painting on canvas in darkness, and in the foreground, two glowing screens. Through this composition, I wanted to highlight the distinct characteristics of these three image types (a meta-painting commentary).

The second theme I wanted to address is the presence of technology in everyday life. In my paintings, I have explored the visual representation of life with computers and in the virtual world. I concluded that the best way to illustrate this was by showing technology's impact on our surroundings and bodies. The painting depicts my brother's computer setup from a few years ago. I remember it with nostalgia. Back then, my brother used two refurbished monitors and a computer that he later gave me when he upgraded to a better one. On the desk, there’s a pair of headphones - the same model we kept buying for years out of habit until they stopped making them. All of those headphones met the same fate - ending up with a broken plug that we couldn't fix because, after replacing it, only one side would work. My brother cut off all those cables and kept them "for later." "Later" came a few years ago when I started exploring technology-related themes in my art. I began attending events with a few of my favorite (headphones) cables tied around my waist as a belt.

Kable (Cables), acrylic on canvas, 105 × 150cm, 2023.

As part of my series, I created paintings depicting "marginal" spaces where system elements, cables, and devices, are hidden. In this painting, I chose the space under a desk, where all the cables hang. This space is illuminated by the red light of a power strip.

This is what my master's thesis exhibition looked like. I have already published some of my paintings on my profile – they can be found in the collection: "Cyfrowe praktyki unikania malarstwa" ("Digital Practices of Avoiding Painting.").
