On the back, on the painting's loom, a confirmation of the painting's authorship: I confirm the authenticity of the work by Jaroslaw / Paluch / Zuzanna Paluch (in marker).
, "Jaroslaw Paluch's creative work is situated on the borderline between poetry and visual activities. It is a kind of reflection on the human ability to perceive and understand. It plays out simultaneously on several levels, the individual images are a record, or perhaps a scenario of unreal, symbolic situations, the reading and understanding of which is a form, their realization.... He does not play a game with the audience and does not think about the social function of art, it is rather a game with his own imagination. He uses irony, mystification and demystification, and tries, as it were, to salvage meaning and value, draining them of conventional and formal trappings of representations of the subject. Being convinced of the impossibility of understanding - capturing the truth about himself and the world, he subconsciously follows the suggestion of S. Beckett that the only way out of such a situation is to multiply one's own possibilities, to fulfill all one's potencies, hence art is conceived as a form of expanding the limits of one's presence in the world, even at the price of falling into fiction. Individual images or objects are a kind of impulse, an inspiration for those states of our self that would never appear in everyday life." - Ryszard Winiarski
