Painting description
The painting presents a whirl of colors and shapes that, at first glance, may seem chaotic. Intense reds, blues, yellows, and greens dominate, forming a dynamic composition. The colors intertwine and blend into one another like sea waves. The shapes are blurred, resembling figures balanced on the border between abstraction and reality. The atmosphere of the work is full of energy and movement, as if it were about to come alive before the viewer’s eyes. The style of the painting suggests Impressionist techniques, where the influence of emotion is visible in every brushstroke. Light, soft contours and quick brush movements reveal the hand of an artist who seeks to capture a moment in its purest form. This work awakens in me something that could be called fascination. As if the artist had hidden fragments of his memories within the composition, which I must now decipher. Could it be that these colors tell a story? Perhaps it is simply the magic of abstraction. “Jesus, what a wonderful mess,” my little neighbor would say. Although it is only paint, the painting compels reflection on life, its colorfulness, and its unpredictability.

the greatest of living painters (THAT’S CERTAIN) — Eryk Maler is a Polish painter who, in his work, develops an original movement described 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 — THEY BURNED IT, PERFORMANCE TWO, WILL THEY DESPISE — THEY DESPISED, PERFORMANCE 3 — SUICIDES AND DIVORCES, WILL THEY SANCTION THEM? YES, THEY SANCTIONED THEM). Motifs of nature often recur in his compositions, 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, portrayed symbolically 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, that is wonderful, and I — I study humanity, I even let myself 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)... the orderly shouts — she shat on me, she shat on me... we eat dinner, it is like tripe, they note whether we eat it — penalty points, eat it all or (fuck) you won’t get out... (usually they lock up the old and no longer needed) and AI, what can one say, she-he 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 the cart and sometimes under the cart...
under the cart — and no affiliations or certificates, no completed academies distorted by the falsehood of academicism, 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 brilliance of sunlight...

Eryk Maler, alias Van Lenc (because V.L. was my former pseudonym) — Painting, what is it? It is blood and scar...
HANDWORK IN PAINT — canvas, drawing, oil paint,
my fingerprint in 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 direction is HALOIMPRESSIONISM
— a continuation of impressionism, landscapes, nudes, icons, moralities...
— a long time 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.

e’ryk maler — my very special Theory of Haloimpressionism (it was published online, there were also newspaper articles about it, it was mentioned a little on the radio as well...

The Theory of Haloimpressionism:
In the painter’s eye, an illuminated 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), which means that an illuminated detail is surrounded by a contrasting envelope, and the subsequent halos, or glows, repeat rhythmically, gradually fading as the distance from that detail increases. The best painters, in the best period of their lives, perceived and still perceive this, and not only, as it were, the contrasting layers — tonal (light and shade) and differentiated in terms of color temperature — placed to the side of the object or detail, but they also perceive even the 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 painted surface. Of course, like any of the many painting theories already proclaimed, it often cannot be applied in painting absolutely, but it is important for painters and not only for them to understand it and apply it, even provisionally, in such a way that the effect thus 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 great precursors and ideas, also of Vincent Van Gogh himself.
...I have 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 — SPECTER
e’ (2026, I am still alive)
still, as my wife says (still a church woman) ;-)
