„Summoning the figures of ancestors is not only extending their existence, but also a constant conversation with them. While painting these pictures, I also return to some personal threads, to women from my own family who were part of my life”
(Kiejstut Bereźnicki in the book by Kama Zboralska “101 Polish Contemporary Artists)

“And when it comes to questions about the meaning of life, existential considerations, if they are, then in every picture, regardless of the topic. They are in the time that is contained in the matter of the painting. There is all human poverty hidden there, the riddle of life for which there is no simple answer or solution. We will always be doomed to the human world and all the limitations that come with it. This is where we must look for meaning, order and wealth “
