Sebastian Rudko

In my work I get inspiration from nature and culture, which is what I see, feel and recognize consequences. It’s interesting that you can see in a split second image that remains so firmly in the subconscious that you can not resist – you just have to paint it. I often observe phenomena such as reflections, arising from light impact. I also use sketches and photographs, but the most important is the memory of what intrigued me. The reality presented by me is a apparent reality, reflected in, reduced by the light, but still existing.
