Geometry - it is order, it is a straight line, a circle, with the help of which I build compositions. I strive for arrangements that express the greatest emotional tension through color and the least number of plastic elements. This is because I think that the emotional charge, its depth and quality are the goal of my considerations, which I seek through fully controlled action. (B. Kowalska, Marian Szpakowski..., published by ARS POLONIA, p. 15)
