Roman Kujawa
Is American artist painter, (February 28th, 1954)
"My artistic research is focused on circuits. Circuits connect but also carry coded information. The penetration of this subject is reflected on the visual platform, proportion and balance. I am not interested in using colors, which is why most of my work is white. By not using colors, the spectator is left with an intellectual perspective, rather than an emotional one. White is also a synonym of hygienic cleanliness for me. Another aspect of my work is focused on the accumulation of energy represented in the tension of each wire. My work is not an image of something but that something an independent object."
Roman Kujawa
"...downright fragile, impressive works associations with a computer integrated circuit but at the same time - with a plate with cuneiform notation.
There was probably such an association to intended by the creator to fasten the oldest, as it were, in one work TV and the newest creations of civilization"
