Adam Styka |
The
only art I can accept is the one that corresponds with my personality
and perception of the world as well as my knowledge about it. For
many reasons, none of the above are constant. A variability of situations
and accumulations of new information generate internal conflicts.
By seeking their solutions I create new opportunities for artistic
and intellectual experiments. |
