“At times, the painterly image results from projecting onto the canvas the artist's perceived moments of interpenetration between the 'external' and 'internal' dimensions of reality, demonstrating the conventional nature of divisions and classifications (…)”
Ewelina Jarosz
Rafał Labijak (ur. 1968) malarz osobny, pogrążony w obsesji tworzenia.
Mieszka w Poznaniu, pracuje w Poznaniu, Ostrawie i Berlinie.
Malarstwo od zawsze jest dla niego podstawowym środkiem komunikacji ze światem zewnętrznym, pozwalającym na otwarcie się przed nim, unikając równocześnie jednoznaczności i prostych interpretacji.

“Through painting, Labijak gazes more carefully at the world and experiences enlightenment. Intuition supports him in painting and in life. He is an artist who knows that in art, intuition and its hinterland – the subconscious – do not conflict with sensory cognition and do not contradict the empirical and intellectual. He knows that art leads us towards life and sometimes explains its mystery…”

“Rafal Labijak's work is primarily about the visual reconstruction of emotions that should evoke a resonance in the viewer. Without doubt, the key to this painting is not knowledge, but feeling.”
