Metaphysical Vision

Summary/Abstract: Makowski, Urszula Broll-Urbanowicz, Henryk Waniek or Andrzej Urbanowicz, we can see characteristic motifs of stairs and columns, arches and circles, hour-glasses and triangles. What story tell the flames and jewels, mandalas, lotuses and pyramids ? Certain tradition is obviously beconed, but also is this, what emerged these forms – an inner need, a spiritual tendency, a religious mystery. A connection of art and religion, and art with metapysics when understood too seriously, is often treated as a misuse; certain spiritual and symbolic process should stay independent. Even though controversions of that kind are at least as old as the Iconoclasm problem, a question of transcendency stays open. If that, what is metaphysical for us isn’t as well, or even first of all, the question of the eye, kind of vision, enabled by the creation process. Marek Ostoja – Ostaszewski’s pictures proove, that a certain possible to define kind of sight exists; it lets us touch surreality, and only that way magic of art happens. Ostoja-Ostaszewski, the painter from Wroc³aw, declares directly that “Art is the art only, when related to Mystical experience”. His series of pictures, to Mystical Experience”. His series of pictures, entitled “Eschaton” presents landscape- like forms, getting hardened on cancas surface or stuck to the window, compressed up to solid colour layers- bright and contrasted. The picture depth compression brings on an effect of picture radiating towards the spectator. In his last series of painting, entitled “Atman” the artist slackens the structure of projected world. These pictures are free painting realizations, with characteristic “calligraphic” tendency. The impression of changing the inner world of picture into writing creates a metaphysical effect, which can unite us with the deepest layers of a myth.
