I would like my paintings to remind the residents of this building that they can be the masters of each new day, that they can live it positively. It was important to me that my artistic narrative gives them a sense of happiness. I hope they will be particularly proud to have such a decorated place as their residence,

summarized Wojciech Siudmak, the author of the paintings transferred to the walls of the building in the courtyard of Więckowskiego Street 4.

Those who enabled the installation of Wojciech Siudmak’s artwork on the internal facades of the building are Małgorzata Wachowicz, graduate architect engineer, and Andrzej Wachowicz, doctor of architectural engineering, both partners of Pracownia Autorska 28 studio.

Siudmak/Chopin/Nocturnes. Temporary exhibition in Żelazowa Wola

The temporary exhibition Siudmak / Chopin / Nocturnes is a presentation of 23 drawings by Wojciech Siudmak inspired by Fryderyk Chopin’s nocturnes. The exhibition available in museum spaces located in Żelazowa Wola is only a fragment of a series of drawings and paintings called Nocturnes. The artist’s works, created over several years, were collected in the publication Siudmak. Chopin, published by the REBIS Publishing House and the Fryderyk Chopin National Institute. The collector’s album, in addition to the works of Wojciech Siudmak, contains discussions of Chopin’s nocturnes prepared by the outstanding musicologist prof. Irena Poniatowska.

The music of Chopin’s nocturnes contains a whole palette of feelings ranging from love to a premonition of death, despair, lament, melancholy, and grief that, as the composer said himself, defined the character of his music, and especially of the nocturnes. Just the choice of the keys defines the emotional world of Chopin. (…) C-sharp minor denoted the complaint of the unrequited love, D-flat major – of suffering and rapture, A-flat major – of death, E-flat major – of heroism, and love and prayer, as its key signature contains the number 3 (of flats). That world was further defined by unexpected modulations, dissonances, decorative quality of the melody, contrasts in dynamic and expression, and the combination of the lyrical with the dramatical, and of simplicity with sophistication

Denis VILLENEUVE
A few words for Siudmak

By The Greats Talking
The works of Wojtek Siudmak are of beautiful and powerful hypnotism. Once encountered, they remain rooted in our memory like intimate revelations about ourselves. It seems as if the artist’s raw material originated from our own unconscious.His visions captivate the viewers with their profundity. Though nobody has yet managed to crack open the door to the future, Wojtek Siudmak already anticipates it and watches, with his curious eyes, eternal beings floating in a world where time and space are no longer constrained by the fundamental laws of nature.
