Painting description
This painting is a true chaos of colors and forms that draws the eye like a magnet. Shades of gray, green, and pink dominate, intertwining like the artist’s inner emotions. The composition is dynamic, full of violent brushstrokes, which gives the work the expression of an observation filled with uncertainty. The face in the painting, barely outlined, seems pensive, perhaps even sad. The atmosphere is somewhat mysterious, as if provoking questions. Could it be melancholy?
The artist used the impasto technique, applying the paint thickly, which creates a three-dimensional effect and gives the impression that the painting is almost alive with a life of its own. This style, although abstract, forms a kind of emotional narrative. Is it sadness, hope? And what do you think? Someone might feel lost or suddenly fall into deep reflection about their own life. Sometimes, looking at it, I think, “Wow, what a mess!”
A 7-year-old child might say, “It looks like a fairy tale!” And there is something to that. This impressionistic vision is an invitation into a world of inner experiences, where realism gives way to emotions. Doesn’t it make one wonder what stories are hidden in all of our minds?

THIS IS A PAINTING ABOUT ... the torment of pregnancy and the torment of being a mother
I mean ... these are real, refined oil paintings, originals, not prints and not copies... handmade — each one different, each one in a different way, with many hidden meanings, THESE ARE CELEBRATIONS, and each day they will seem different to you

the greatest of contemporary painters (THAT’S CERTAIN) — Eryk Maler is a Polish painter who, in his work, develops an original artistic current known as haloimpressionism (the sanctification of holiness, acceptance of suffering interwoven with fragments of happiness, the halos of that — which is). Inspired by the works of masters such as Vincent (because HE SUFFERED), Van Gogh, the artist focuses on depicting 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 a 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 casual glance.
Maler’s work (Mejler — 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 IT — THEY BURNED IT, PERFORMANCE TWO, WILL THEY DESPISE IT — THEY DESPISED IT, PERFORMANCE 3 — SUICIDES AND DIVORCES, WILL THEY SANCTION IT? YES, THEY SANCTIONED IT). In his compositions, motifs of nature often return, inspired by the landscape of the Oder river basin, as well as a deep fascination with the female figure AT EVERY AGE, child, little girl idol, Kumari, depicted in a symbolic way or as a sex symbol, ADULT, and full of expression — the Woman Sphinx cycle.

(this 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 see who they lock up there,
on the wall in Cibórz, the madmen hung Vincent and little tulips (vaginas)... the orderly shouts over everyone — she shit on me, she shit on me... we are eating dinner, it is like tripe, they note whether we eat it — penalty points, eat it all or you won’t fucking get out... (usually they lock up the old and no longer needed) and AI, what is it like, it/he-she 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 programmed truth and rationalism ;-) 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 the wagon, sometimes under...
the wagon — and no affiliations or certificates, no completed academies warped by the falsehood of academism, and nothing that ties me to any 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 glow of the sun...

HANDWORK WITH PAINT — canvas support, drawing, oil paint,
my fingerprint in the paint on the certificate — I always make it anew, each one is a little different,
I — a self-taught painter, musician, art theorist — e'ryk — and my direction is HALOIMPRESSIONISM
— a continuation of impressionism, landscapes, nudes, icons, moralities...
-- long ago, I lived in the countryside, a river right nearby, haymaking as work and sleeping on hay as relaxation... in Stara Wieś
I began with realism, long ago, it was 1980, then there were many other stages, the development of Impressionism in me and observations and analyses, the form of Haloimpressionism, then came 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, an illuminated area, possessing color and value, undeniably affects a neighboring area, changing it significantly. The transformation proceeds in the opposite direction, both in terms of color temperature and value (light and shade), that is, an illuminated detail is surrounded by a contrasting aura, and successive 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, contrasting layers in terms of value (light and shade) and differentiated in 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 eye, the painter’s eye, and this applies both to space in real reality and later to space on the painterly plane. Of course, like any of the many already proclaimed theories of painting, it often cannot be applied absolutely in painting, but it is important for painters and not only for them: to understand it and apply it, even provisionally, and in such a way that the effect thereby achieved, 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 the great precursors and ideas, including Vincent Van Gogh himself.
...I painted and sold several hundred oil paintings, made HUNDREDS OF DRAWINGS, A FEW WERE BOUGHT ... (watercolors :-)), it is hard to sell a drawing,... :-) ? yes, but
I sold — PHANTOM
e' (2026, still alive)
(and a reference to a style OF UNKNOWN KIND)
it is worth what the greatest works are worth (millions), we will give it to children with cancer
