"I do not set myself rigid frameworks and areas of inspiration. I try to be independent from any calculated doctrines and principles or iconographic concepts adopted a priori. When I paint, there often come new ideas and concepts. By entering into the space of a picture, they seem to be more attractive than the reason for which I started working on the canvas. I eliminate them, assuming that I have to pursue my original idea at all costs, the idea that was outlined as a quick sketch on a sheet of paper and to which I refer while painting. For me, the painting process is a kind of a complex personal game, a need to maintain (during and after work) an incessant activity, a kind of penetration of a picture and feeling its internal pulsation." - Marian Waldemar Kuczma
