Rafal Olbiński is a very versatile and intriguing artist. Painter, illustrator, graphic artist, designer, set designer, poster artist. His works are characterized by an individual, unique style, a bit on the borderline of symbolism and surrealism. The artist is highly prized in Poland and abroad. He has been honoured with over 150 awards for his work. According to the experts: ?Olbiński is a painter-poet who depicts our world with the use of a wider reflection?. (Source: www.desamodern.pl)
Several meanings can be found in this project. It is to encourage reflection which people do not have time for any more. Connected with headphones to the control panel which makes the choice for us, we watch what we are shown on TV and read what is written in the newspapers. I don?t like excessive pathos and visual propaganda which blooms around us ? advertising of products, forceful instilling of ideas. This pathos evokes emotions which often we do not want to exhibit. Therefore, the design of the mural is based on the basic aesthetics with a non-aggressive message. It is a return to the simplest things in life, namely the beauty we are too busy to notice. Beauty we have lost in our pursuit of millions of other things. Beauty which has ceased to be trendy, and which actually is one of the basic human needs. Beauty which was not invented by advertising agencies. It?s a return to the beauty around us.
