Artist Statement for Paul Cieniuch

In and Out of the Box:
I stay in the box when I work on perfecting my craft but when I paint “in between thoughts” the box ceases to exist.
As an artist I repeatedly make a conscious decision of working very hard on perfecting my skill and developing my craft through the use of different media and different tools. I keep choosing different ways of expression to challenge myself and to be able to see things I know very well in a completely new light and from different perspectives. No matter what I work on, however, be it drawing, photography or computer art, it always goes back to canvas, which is the beginning and the end of all my artistic endeavors. I have always been convinced that only when challenged by a variety of tools, my ability would have more potential of becoming sufficient to achieve the mastery over matter, which, in turn, would allow me to achieve a degree of artistic freedom to paint “in between thoughts”. Painting “in between thoughts” is the process of creation when I feel connected to the universal, one with paint, brush and canvas. It is a process in which time and space cease to exist; it is the feeling of perfect harmony, of being in touch with the mysterious and unexplained, in touch with archetypes of my own humanity. This process overrides the importance of the theme, way of depiction, or the meaning of my paintings. It is a process of recreation, rather then imitation, of the reality that I perceive. In other words, I paint what I see and feel, and I see and feel what I paint, and thus, each of my paintings reflects both my subjective perception and my reaction to it; it is both being created and is a creator, and what I see when I put away a brush mystifies me. Painting is my way of communication through unraveling my search for “true self” and inviting the viewer to experience the universal. However, if somebody chooses to ignore the invitation, he/she can always perceive the craft and appreciate it or not. These decisions I leave for the beholder and his/her eye.
