Dariusz Mlącki
My art is clearly contemplative in nature. I paint on canvas, timber boards, and cork sheets. I make sculpted objects using string, or make spatial and illusive painting objects.

Ah, art fair season. What’s not to love, right? Sometimes art fairs take your money, pour an unbelievable amount of closely-hung work into your brain via your wandering eyeballs, and kick you in the ass as you exit.

Still a student, and virtually unknown, her design was chosen from over 1,400 submissions. I remember seeing an exhibit of […]
