Inspired by early mornings near the coast, Marek painted this piece as a study in restraint and peace. The barely-there reflections and blurred horizon suggest both clarity and ambiguity — the calm before a journey, or the exhale after one. As a former sailor himself, Marek often returns to maritime subjects not for adventure, but for the quiet anchorage they offer in an ever-moving world.

With this large-scale marina scene, Marek embraces structure and repetition as visual poetry. The boats, motionless yet ready, reflect the paradox of potential energy. Inspired by quiet afternoons along the Mornington Peninsula, the artist uses layered blues and precise lines to communicate both rest and readiness. It’s about balance — between water and craft, chaos and calm, solitude and symmetry.

This work was born from Marek’s early morning strolls in Europe, where he often observed the poetry of cafés before the day began. The absence of people adds a gentle tension, creating a space that feels both calm and expectant. The shadows, tilted chairs, and vintage lampposts echo a quiet narrative — an invitation to imagine the conversations that have passed, or are about to unfold.

Inspired by Melbourne’s electric nightlife, Marek presents a bird’s-eye view of the city’s energy and architecture. From this height, traffic becomes light, and movement becomes pattern. He sees the city not as buildings but as a living current — pulses of colour flowing through a complex organism. The piece is a testament to Marek’s deep connection to his home city: vibrant, layered, and always in motion.

A companion to No. 13, this painting reflects the golden hour when the café comes alive with deeper hues and romantic nostalgia. Marek was captivated by how lighting transforms memory and mood. Here, the chairs suggest presence — perhaps lovers just departed — and the warm palette imbues the scene with tenderness. It’s a quiet homage to the ordinary beauty of shared rituals.

This stylised portrait is a celebration of mystery, femininity, and performance. Inspired by the spectacle of Venetian masks and the expressive drama of cabaret, Marek’s subject emerges from the canvas both regal and elusive. The feathered crown suggests transformation — not disguise, but revelation. She is a symbol of poise under scrutiny, of silence that speaks volumes. A mask, perhaps, but never a façade.

This enigmatic portrait grew from Marek’s fascination with identity and illusion. Inspired by the stylization of theater and dreams, the work fuses glamour with introspection. The subject’s intense gaze and golden adornment suggest both regality and secrecy. It’s a study in duality — of power and fragility, clarity and mystique — wrapped in color and symbolism.

Painted as a tribute to human ambition and the beauty of open horizons, this piece is full of motion and optimism. Marek’s love of nautical history is evident in the precision of the rigging and the dynamism of the wind-filled sails. Yet it’s the sky and sea — vast and infinite — that give the ship its emotional charge. This is not just a journey across water, but a voyage into freedom and imagination.

Here, Marek unites his past as a military cartographer in Poland with his lifelong interest in historical power structures. The subject, Napoleon Bonaparte, is both icon and reflection — a leader whose obsession with expansion is marked by red lines that resemble both maps and veins. The canvas critiques and contemplates. It is not just a portrait of empire, but a meditation on how lines drawn on paper become lines drawn in lives.

Here, Marek captures the grandeur of a historical ship cleaving through cobalt waves. It's a visual elegy to a time when adventure was charted by wind and risk. Painted on a scale to match its ambition, the work is immersive and reverent. More than a scene, it is a symbol — of exploration, endurance, and the eternal call of the sea.

In this piece, Marek explores the transcendent language of music through abstraction. Inspired by the raw emotion of live jazz, he layered geometric forms and rhythmic contours to evoke the feel of music moving through the body. The figure is not merely playing but becoming part of the symphony. It is a tribute to the spiritual power of creativity — a moment when sound, motion, and emotion become one.

This piece is a visual improvisation — a psychological portrait that resists singular interpretation. Marek approached it as both play and release, blending cubist influence with intuitive color expression. Each segment reflects a different emotional state, inviting viewers to find themselves within its contradictions. It is part mask, part map — a celebration of the unfiltered self in flux.

This painting is Marek’s technically faithful replica of Caravaggio’s Narcissus, created in isolation during Melbourne’s COVID lockdown. However, its most provocative change is that Narcissus no longer gazes into his own reflection — but into a pool of vaccine vials. The result is a haunting synthesis of classical beauty and modern anxiety. Marek repositions the myth as a commentary on medicine, ego, and survival in an age of isolation.
