"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society where none intrudes, By the deep Sea, and music in its roar: I love not Man the less, but Nature more." George Gordon Byron "All that lives must die, passing through nature to eternity." "I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams." William Shakespeare I was drawing since I can remember. Started when I was a kid and drew with more or less breaks through the years. Now I'm interested in all kinds of art. No matter if it's drawings, paintings, photos, books, comics, movies, music, video games, or different genre of arts. As long as they tells interesting story and arouse emotions I like it. I still draw and take pictures personally to express my feelings or when I want to communicate something important for me. Of course, also for fun. It's my hobby. You can be sure that I appreciate your work if it catch my eyes. I salute all those who found themselves in widely understood art.

It's been some time since my last activity on DeviantArt. I needed to take a break from internet/artistic community and taking pictures due to my personal and health problems. But now it looks like I'm slowly recovering my balance and getting back into good shape. So I'll be back for sure sooner or later.
I have some news for now. I started running the site with my photography on Facebook. For now I will be sharing there material known from DevArt. What's the purpose of this site you may ask? Well, I would like to reach and present my work and view on life, to people who are not necessarily artists themselves. With time, I plan to expand my activity also with short films, so this may be the right place for it. So if you like my work and have an account there, consider to follow me and share it with your family and friends. I'll be grateful if you pass it on.
You will find it at the address:
fb.me/picsfromtheotherside
or by entering the name of the page in the Facebook search engine: Pictures from the other side
If you like some cool music and stuff or you liked my status updates^^ you may also follow/observe my private profile. From time to time I'm sharing there work of artists that I admire.

I won't disappear from DeviantArt of course. There's still so much for me to create, discover and share with the world. So, till next time^^

Time flies... Today is exactly 10 years since I joined DeviantArt community. It was quite a trip so far. When I look back I see the way I have behind me. You can see it too in my gallery. At least that part of my way which concerns my creativity and artistic development. But not only that. Just like many of you I've been through a lot to get where I am today. If you look closely enough you can understand how this could influenced my view of the world and find its reflection in my works. In a way I'm grateful for all that has happened to me. Because of this, I don't swim only on the surface and I'm not the shallow person. I have the opportunity to look and feel deeper, and there are pearls hidden at the bottom.
By this time DeviantArt has become my window to the world. A place where I can show the fruits of my labor. Thanks to my stay here I found out how many awesome and crazy talented people are out there. Among other things this helped me to understand that the world is and still could be a better place than I thought in my turbulent youth. My activity helped me grow as an photographer and go ahead with my artworks. Although I recently focused more on taking pictures, I started here by sharing my drawings. I haven't finished any art school or photography courses. I don't have expensive equipment. So my efforts can be a great example of that something meaningful and well worth the attention can be achieved by anyone, who have the heart and passion for it. DeviantArt is still a source of inspiration for my imagination. I still admire and learn a lot from people who publish their works here.

What I'm currently best known for is my photography. This passion was born from my love of nature in which I find freedom. My main motivation was to share it with others. I'm not a very open person. It took me a while to figure it out, how I would like to show and share my view of the world. To show that there's a beauty in the dark, that everything isn't always what it seems. I have the impression that I succeeded in some way, but it's definitely not the end. I believe we can look in nature as in a mirror and better understand ourselves, since we're a part of it and we are connected with it on many levels. I think it's important to remind of it in a world that has largely turned away from nature. No one ever knows what the future will bring but I hope it will take me to new interesting places in photography and in art. There are still new things for me, waiting to be discovered.

I would like to say thank you to all my watchers. Those who have been with me before and the new ones as well. Thank you for staying with me for such a long time and for all the support I received from you. Hope I'll see you around in the future. Take care of yourselves!

Ladies and gentlemen, today I want to share my love for one of the most impressive original motion picture soundtracks ever created. It comes from an amazing movie adaptation of James Fenimore Cooper book. When I listen to music from "The Last of the Mohicans" I feel immediately transported to the mountains and forests of Native Americans without leaving my home and timeline^^ Into the world full of wonderful wildlife, incredible sceneries and threatening dangers, where brave, honorable men are going through heroic adventures. Listening to this music makes me feel as if I was looking from the top of the mountain with a hawk eye^^ That's how it works for me. I invite anyone who wants to find out about it to join me on this musical journey.
Link to the movie soundtrack on Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/3msCAE2…
Lately I listen a lot to the music I know for years. One of the singers that I love to come back to is Enya. Her music is soothing and reminds me of simpler, peaceful times.
Hope this new year will be fascinating, inspiring and creative for everyone. Just like her music is.
Is there any more moody, full of melancholy atmosphere and drama, but at the same time beautifully moving, magical music in spirit of Christmas/holiday season, than Danny Elfman compositions from Tim Burton movies? I personally think there is not.
Merry Christmas. Good will toward men... and women.
There is this band which records absolutely phenomenal renditions of well-known hits of popular music, giving them a new, different, mysterious character. It's called Death in Rome. I'm delighted with the style in which they do it (the Neofolk genre). Listening to them is unreal. These recordings have dark, pensive mood, full of melancholy and emotions. They use black and white scenes from old films to illustrate their covers. It deepens the perceived impression of music. Scenes from Andrei Tarkovsky movie "Ivan's childhood" were used in two videos which I chose. I appreciate him very much as a filmmaker. In his films you can find beautiful cinematography and the depth of the message. I invite you to get acquainted with the legacy of this outstanding director if you don't have a chance before.
It's again this time of year when everything is more bleak, stranger and scary. I think that Type O Negative music has the perfect mood for October and Halloween. I found on youtube fanmade music videos with scenes from movies that I appreciate a lot. They all contain horror atmosphere which I consider the most imaginative, haunting and beautifully dark.

Sincere thanks, Kris !
Dostrzegam w Tobie fotografa, który lubi - i potrafi - operować mgłą jako środkiem wyrazu artystycznego. To rzadko spotykana umiejętność, toteż z jak największym naciskiem chciałbym wyrazić swój podziw.
Dziękuję bardzo za słowa uznania. Rzeczywiście, wiele moich zdjęć powstało we mgle. W takich warunkach najbardziej lubię fotografować. Niestety nie zawsze jest ku temu okazja.
