My name is Dariusz, and I am an artist. I work in abstract, conceptual, and expressionistic styles. My practice is also a research practice. I use painting, printmaking, textiles, collage, and assemblage.

My art explores history, power, and memory, as these elements shape our perception of the present. I find enjoyment in uncovering layers of meaning, exploring emotions, and examining ambiguity. These aspects become apparent when we consider what is often overlooked, such as fragmented stories, unheard voices, and the enduring influence of societal systems on our lives.

I want my work to make people think. It should also make them feel something. I use abstract methods. These methods can be disruptive. They leave things open-ended. This reflects the complex topics I explore. Each artwork has physical and conceptual depth. I want people to look closely. They should feel deeply. Then, they can question their own ideas.

Central to my practice is Wayfinder, a conceptual and symbolic framework that serves as both a metaphor and a method. Like a compass, it guides my creative navigation, helping me trace cycles of learning, unlearning, and reinterpreting subjective experiences. Wayfinder is not about providing answers but about holding space for the questions that arise when we confront the gaps in our stories.

My background as a practitioner in computing and systems thinking informs how I approach my work—not just in what I create, but in how I analyse, deconstruct, and engage with information, power, and the act of looking itself from within. I am less interested in reconciling contradictions than in creating room for discomfort, curiosity, and critical reflection. My work often feels like autoethnography. I use my personal perspective to explore broader systems while inviting others to see themselves within the larger narratives I examine.

I use texture and absence. I combine found and created materials. My art sparks open-ended conversations, often monologues with myself. Each viewer interprets it differently, and these interpretations will change, as expected.
