Concrete Jungles

Scenery used to play a secondary role on the canvas, serving as a backdrop for portraits and various storylines. Over time, the landscape became a genre in its own right, reproducing the atmosphere and rhythm of everyday life. This series tells us about moments recorded by the artist at different times and under other circumstances. He can observe a couple in love who notice nothing around them or draw our attention to the last visitor in a cafe, whose silhouette is visible through the window.

“The Last One” from the series “Concrete Jungles” depicts the last few moments before the café closes. The self-styled visitor doesn’t hurry home, staring into the city’s empty streets. The megapolis begins to light up, and the establishments gradually close up.

For many years now, I have kept my way of working the same. The sunlight illuminates my favorite street at precisely 8 am. I go to the same coffee shop for an espresso, greet the old ladies at the doorsteps, pet a stray dog and happily start my working day.
