The painting as a curtain (...) A contradiction is therefore what constitutes a painting, and ambiguity is its right. As a young artist, I intuitively defined the work of art as a boundary. Over the years that intuition changed into a conviction that the particular form of art which is painting at the same time reveals and hides; it exists at this intersection of functions as a see-through curtain. We don’t know why there are some paintings which we constantly want to have before our eyes and others which we quickly forget. We will never have a complete answer to the question ‘what is a painting?’, because it resists being put into words – it is a part of a cloud, an element of a fog, from which multiplied imagery emerges. We give in to the charm of the curtain, but fictions are nothing bad. Thanks to the ability to create fictions and to believe in them we conquered the world. The reality, however we choose to define it, is woven with pictures. Krzysztof Wróblewski
