Wojciech Siudmak - Energy

"Energy" takes us into the depths of the human being and its relationship with cosmic energy. It is a combination of harmony and strength that exists in both man and the universe. The image is a profound reflection of our alignment with the cosmic energy that surrounds us.

The figure depicted is subservient to its inner energy, which flows from the centre and spreads in all directions. It is like a reflection of our own inner harmony and balance with the universe around us.

The volcanoes above the surface of the water, symbolise instinctive thinking, which like powerful sources of energy - can be both destructive and creative. It's a reminder that it's up to us to use them to build or to steer towards destructive instincts.

"No one has yet succeeded in opening the door to the future, but Wojtek Siudmak is already reaching there with his gaze, observing with curiosity the divine beings living in a world where neither time nor space obey basic laws anymore. This great artist has accompanied me since the moment when he looked at me with blue eyes as a man of the desert. Since then, I have remained suspended in the balance between two worlds - ours and Wojtek Siudmak's reality." - Denis Villeneuve, world-renowned director, creator of the latest film adaptation of Dune.

Inkography "Energy" by Wojciech Siudmak was created in a closed limited edition of 100 copies.

Wojciech Siudmak - painter and sculptor, was born in 1942 in Wieluń, Poland.

In September 1966, he left for Paris and began his studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He lives and works in France. Wojciech Siudmak is a leading representative of fantasy realism and science fiction. Fantastic realism combines surreal vision with naturalistic art and has its roots in surrealism, as represented by S. Dali and R. Magritte. What Siudmak shares with Dalí is a virtuosity in rendering the three-dimensional illusion of space, a sense of light and shadow, linear and aerial perspectives. Siudmak's timeless art, captivates with its Renaissance perfection and virtuosity and imagination beyond the norm, fascinating with its intellectual richness. Many famous personalities have expressed their admiration for the artist's work: Federico Fellini, Jean-Jacques Annaud, George Lucas, Paul Guth, John Harrison, Jacques Goimard, Jean Claude Dunyach, Francis Lai, Guy Beart, Kim Stanley Robinson and Denis Villeneuve director of the Oscar-winning film "Diuna".
