The Kostrzyn Days 1999

From the 4th until the 18th of September 1999 I took part in the 5th International Pleinair of Painting, which took place in Kostrzyn/n.O (Poland), organized by the art association Sztuka na Granicy.

Some of the poems, drawings and paintings I did during these days are shown on this page:

Series : "It´s a Present"
Monotype print, acrylic paint and drawing on paper
each 42,5 cm x 60cm

 
 
 

The dreams don´t pass
in the morning,
when sleep ends
they vanish
when you stop wanting to fulfil them.

(For G.) 


 
 

Tell me the story,
softly soothing

murmuring.

Fall asleep, child 
and dream of 

fountain-fairies those

winged beings who 

enchant your mind 

and heart.

 

 

Morning-cool humidity
veil darkened colouring

Rosy gentle clouds sail 
through the brackish water

and the boat is the

media of silent travel

nearly.

 

   
Kostrzyn Days - three paintings on canvas each 77 cm x 215 cm
Oil, monotype print, acrylic paint, wax crayon 

Kostrzyn Days No. 2

the time
the people, conversations

thoughts and feelings

connections and incompatibilities

and about strong yearning for distance.

 
 

Kostrzyn Days No. 3

tells of the blackness of the iron and
the darkness of the night

millions of stars high up in the windows

the power of the engines

the personality of the whale

and eternal validity.
