Arbalete II, taken in abandoned Palace in Poland, is a significant part of the Desolate Beauty project. It combines the seemingly opposing concepts of beauty and desolation (and sometimes even destruction and decay). Beauty is embodied by captivating women, while desolation is reflected in the physical state of the locations where I invite and immortalize the protagonists of my stories. The women are adorned in beautiful garments or are nude – but they are always beautiful. It is important that the sum of beauty and decay always results in… beauty (just as good always triumphs over evil).
Radek’s photography has a universal quality, with a distinct focus on people, understood in an exceptionally broad sense. His open-minded approach allows him to blend various forms within this artistic field, for example, by creating narrative portraits or nudes in different worlds and dimensions. Occasionally, he delves into landscapes and saute architecture. He tells stories, describes emotions and sometimes is solely interested in form. His creativity you can see in award-winning projects Desolate Beauty and Connected to Nature. He works both digitally and analog cameras.
