Karolina Skorek: ***

liberte.pl 6 months ago

An image combined with a word, a communicative to perceive and watch, the art of seeing, the perception of hidden meanings, and another of speaking directly. The wealth of ideas, styles and techniques, the different perceptions of worlds, or yet different aesthetics... In this spirit we begin to learn about art, to wander in the spirit of beauty, with the hope that together with the invited artists and artists who make our covers, we will discover another dimension of freedom. Freedom of creation.
