Painting description
Original from the period of the Haloimpressionism Fraction, 2008. This is a so-called cult painting from the Ha collection, 2008, original, wedge-stretched canvas, certificate. There are a few paintings of mine like this, only some of them are in the West (France) in private galleries, and there they are also very expensive. Back then I painted in a musical trance; this particular painting refers to the fate of Polish willows, which have unfortunately gradually disappeared from the landscape, for example here in the Lubusz region, usually cut down, burned on a bonfire or in a stove, unnecessary, set on fire from the inside (like me), and in the way by the roadside or at the edge of a field. They are almost never protected, treated as natural monuments, as phenomena and symbols of fairy tales and fantasy. So here there is an image of a willow, but already as a memory — because it has been burned, Joan of Arc. Haloimpressionism is neither marketing nor fiction.
--
THIS IS A painting that has been sold, without manipulation by planted buyers, inflated marketing, or a TV film, because it is true, and willows are precious, they are like a fairy tale. Our life should be like a fairy tale, not condemned to loneliness and suffering: a lonely old man, a lonely old woman, children who do not visit and do not comfort them — I already know that all too well... :-) I am old, I... these are real refined oil paintings, originals, not prints and not copies... handmade — each one different, each in a different way, with many hidden meanings, THESE ARE CELEBRATIONS, and each day they will seem different to you.

the greatest of today’s painters (THAT IS CERTAIN) — Eryk Maler is a Polish painter who, in his work, develops an original current described as haloimpressionism (the sanctification of holiness, acceptance of suffering interwoven with fragments of happiness, the halos of that which is). Drawing inspiration from the works of masters such as Vincent (because HE SUFFERED), Van Gogh, the artist focuses on showing luminous nimbuses and circles that give his compositions a unique, vibrating dynamism (these are philosophical moralities).
In his painting practice he uses the oil technique, which allows for the precise rendering of the multilayered nature of light. A key element of his creative process is the careful observation of optical phenomena occurring in full sunlight, where the painter’s eye perceives interpenetrating planes of color and subtle structures invisible at a cursory glance.
Maler’s work (Mejler’s — an artistic pseudonym, because he writes and writes... those emails), is also an emotional manifesto and a form of rebellion against suffering or injustice, which gives his works the character of engaged performance (PERFORMANCE 1, WILL THEY BURN — THEY BURNED; PERFORMANCE TWO, WILL THEY DESPISE — THEY DESPISED; PERFORMANCE 3 — SUICIDES AND DIVORCES, WILL THEY SANCTION THEM? YES, THEY SANCTIONED THEM). In his compositions, motifs of nature often return, inspired by the landscape of the Oder basin, as well as a deep fascination with the female figure AT EVERY AGE, CHILD, LITTLE GIRL IDOL, Kumari, presented in a symbolic way or as a sex symbol, ADULT, and full of expression — the Woman Sphinx cycle.

(that is how AI described me), divine, naive, he-she is still a child, it is wonderful, and I — I study humanity, I even allowed myself to be locked up in a madhouse to check whom they lock up there,
on the wall in Cibórz, the madmen hung Vincent and tulips (vaginas)... an orderly shouts — she shit on me, she shit on me... we eat dinner, it is like tripe, they note whether we eat it — penalty points, eat it all or (fuck) you will not get out... (usually they lock up the old and already unnecessary) and AI, what can one say, it is witty... it itself stated (He/She AI) — I have no feelings, I cannot have them... ah, so just like people? Not me, I do not lie — AI — because I have truth and rationalism programmed into me ;-) he he, well well...

ah, A... I am a rebel and B — the most important thing is my theory of haloimpressionism, because it is not a theory, hence sometimes on top, sometimes under the cart...
cart — and no memberships or certificates, no completed academies warped by the falsehood of academism and nothing that binds me to a clique, my THEORY:
— is the truth about seeing and understanding, a way of seeing an object... (a person) in the sun, an object in the sunlight...

Eryk Maler, alias Van Lenc (because V.L. was my former pseudonym) — Painting, what is it? It is blood and scar...
HANDWORK WITH PAINT — canvas, drawing, oil paint,
my fingerprint in the paint on the certificate — I always make it anew, each one is slightly different,
I — self-taught painter, musician, art theorist — e’ryk — and my movement is HALOIMPRESSIONISM
— a continuation of impressionism, landscapes, icon nudes, moralities...
— long ago, I lived in the countryside, a river right next to me, haymaking as work and sleeping on hay as relaxation... in Stara Wieś
I began with realism, long ago, it was the year 1980, then there were many other stages, the development of Impressionism in me and observations and analyses, the form of Haloimpressionism, then there was the study of paint, the so-called method (one of my techniques), and moralities and their metamorphoses, etc.

The Theory of Haloimpressionism:
In the painter’s eye, a lit area, possessing color and value, undeniably affects the neighboring area, changing it in a significant way. The transformation proceeds in the opposite direction, both in terms of color temperature and value (light and shade), meaning that a lit detail is surrounded by an envelope contrasting with it, and subsequent halos, or glows, repeat rhythmically, gradually fading with increasing distance from that detail. The best painters, in the best period of their lives, saw and still see this, and not only, as it were, contrast layers differing in value (light and shade) and color temperature, placed to the side of an object or detail, but they also perceive even layers located between the object or detail and their own eye, the painter’s eye, and this concerns both space in real reality and later space on the painterly plane. Of course, like every one of the many already proclaimed theories of painting, it often cannot be applied in painting absolutely, but what is important for painters and not only for them is to understand it and apply it, even ad hoc, and in such a way that the achieved effect, for example a painterly one, confirms it. The Theory of Haloimpressionism often serves painting that is a continuation of the rebellion of Impressionism, of good as a goal;
it is a continuation of great precursors and ideas, also of Vincent Van Gogh himself.
...I have painted and sold several hundred oil paintings, I made HUNDREDS OF DRAWINGS, A FEW WERE BOUGHT ... (watercolors :-)), it is hard to sell a drawing,... :-) ? yes, but
I sold — SPECTER
