"Relative beauty" is a painting about how beauty is never an absolute value — it always depends on how we look at it. I wanted to ask a few questions with it: what exactly is beauty? Does it need embellishments? Can it be confined to a frame just to be admired?

I don't paint realistically — I build the image from thousands of small circular forms. From up close, they scatter into pure color; from afar, they come together as a whole. This play of closeness and distance is not accidental here: the same happens with beauty, which we see differently from every distance and in every mood.

I painted it in intense, saturated colors, full of life and energy. It is a painting that does not give a single answer — it stays with the viewer, and each time you can see something different in it. It will find its place on a large, visible wall, in a living room or a space that prefers questions over ready answers.

Authenticity
The painting is hand-painted, signed on the front and back, and I include a personalized certificate of authenticity with the title, dimensions, year of creation, and my signature. This is the only copy of this work — no other will ever be created that is identical.

Framing and readiness to hang
The painting is sold unframed — on a high-quality stretcher, ready to hang immediately upon unpacking. The raw, unframed canvas is a conscious contemporary choice: it gives full freedom if you wish to choose a frame for your interior later.

Shipping
I personally pack each work with the utmost care. Smaller and medium-sized paintings are shipped whole, on a stretcher. Larger formats, for complete safety during transport, are removed from the stretcher and shipped rolled in a rigid protective tube — re-stretching them onto a stretcher is simple and can be done by any framing workshop (I'm happy to advise on how to do it). All shipments are fully insured and dispatched via trusted courier companies, with a tracking number.

The colors and texture of this work are best appreciated in person. If you are in Warsaw, I invite you to my gallery on Tucholska Street — let's arrange a calm, private viewing. Call or write to me, and we will find a convenient time to meet by the painting.
