When the canvas “works”, it will be abandoned with its flaws and imperfections, without ever being conclusive. As Picasso said, to finish a painting is to kill it, to take away its soul, to give it "la puntilla" in bullfighting language. So when asked about when to stop the painting, Szczesny laughs that he must have reached the right temperature.

Foreign to any attempt at seduction and impervious to fashions, Marek Szczesny's painting asserts itself as a declaration of authority, an exclamation point. She has always told us: "Here I am, take it or leave it! Ecce homo”.
