A few sentences from reviews and texts about me:
..." It is the color that determines the climate and character of these works, which, when juxtaposed next to each other, create - maybe in an unintended way - a kind of frieze, without beginning and end....".
...." In his art, the artist makes an attempt to reduce the landscape - the one remembered from his childhood - Żuławy to a universal, simplified scheme, in which the rule of dividing the canvas with horizontal color patches evokes individual plans of a real landscape...."
...." In dynamically painted paintings an important role is played by the search for form and the search for the lost color of childhood. One of the permanent elements of these landscapes is a rectangle, a sheet of glass, windows, with reflected fragments of trees, water pools......"
...." The landscape we see in his work is a picture of human nature.
Grajczak's paintings are a love letter to a lover who has passed away.
Each line and spot in his paintings creates a story in which good is opposed to evil, the beauty of mediocrity, etc....."
. ... "I know how Krzysztof works. His painting is created and is being made - every day - overnight. He changes "unfolds and rolls up", rejects what is unnecessary, changes color by applying a different one, but not in order to enrich it. By changing, he rejects the unnecessary - he leaves the idea - a synthesis of the landscape and you start to agree with it, you accept it. Entering his studio many times, day after day and looking at the so-called "creative process" I thought - he is right, that was unnecessary. It is good that he changed this color, that he got rid of these elements.
The idea stays, the thought stays. It is clear and simple. The soul of the landscape, mood, feeling and sensitivity remains....".
