About Me
My art has been shaped by the poetry of travel and the music of ancient masters. Frequent travels with my parents and their passions, from a very young age, shaped my sensitivity and desire to engage with the beauty of history and humanity.
The experience gathered over the years resulted in the first projects at the end of the 1980s. These were attempts to create my own vision of objects, which required me to further explore the principles that governed each successive era. It was made easier by the fact that I already carried their outline within me, while my love for books and abundant reading on art allowed me to multiply this deposit…
The first complete models were created in the 1990s, and I continued to make them until 2000.
Currently, I have returned to my former passion. The experience gathered over the next 15 years, including historical studies and encounters with philosophy, allowed me to look at architecture and its role in a new light, and helped me discover the value that flows from the proper understanding of its purpose in human life.
Sławomir Kaczor – a historian by education, a graduate of the University of Silesia, who specializes in the culture of the Napoleonic era.
However, his greatest passion, alongside philosophy and poetry (which he himself creates), is architecture. The result of his encounter with this field of art are magnificent, original designs of sacred objects and public utility buildings.
The models, made of cardboard in accordance with the requirements of a given era, not only feature a noble decorative appearance but, above all, carry an essential message drawn from history. Each element of the interior decoration is carefully designed and cut. Every detail is intricately shaped and applied, forming with each subsequent element both an integral and profoundly moving story. The buildings seem to be a musical reflection of the artist’s dreams, a search for beauty within and its extraction from the space of the world surrounding us.
The author takes us back to the distant times of Gothic cathedrals and royal palaces. It is hard not to stop, not to be amazed, not to fall into contemplation when looking at the sail of the fiery vault or the allegory-filled interior of the opera house.
The models are not copies of existing buildings. The creator designs them himself, based on the principles of various eras. There are no templates or special equipment to make this extraordinary, precise, and patience-demanding task easier.
’It’s just cardboard, glue, and scissors,’ and the result is striking.
