Seeing Swiniarski's extremely forceful paintings you could hardly guess that he has a quiet inner nature. In order to express his thoughts he needs large sized paintings. The theme of his paintings - either abstract or partly realistic - is life with all it's antitheses. Not only the patterns of light and dark make Swiniarski's painting so exciting. Also strength and weakness, courage and fear, hope and desperation shine through his paintings and make you thoughtful or even perplexed.
