COMING BACK TO THE LIGHT

     There are some really special people in this world… David Kowalski is one of them. Special for what he is as a person and as an artist. The ability of seeing the unnoticed and transforming the common things into something unique are probably his main gifts as a photographer. As a sculptor, his work impresses by the originality of the matter, the shapes, the lively spirit. Each piece is the resurrection of something old and lost… “telluric phoenixes” of rusty metal, leather, wood and stone, being reborn from the junkyard and debris. As a writer and poet, he is still someone to be revealed and discovered.
     Life put a treacherous trap in his way, a serious disease that could have vanquished him as it does with so many. But his inner strength allowed him to remain in this side of light… Stay on this side, David! There are thousands of images that wait to be capture by your eyes and soul, dozens of sculptures waiting to born from your masterful hands... and life goes on walking with you, hand in hand.
     Below is the poem Deep Insight, some images by David Kowalski and a few by me (from the series Premeditated Mistakes).

DEEP INSIGHT

Without cuts, wounds or scars
Penetrating the deep surface of beauty
Caressing the ineffable fugacity of light
The speed of sound in the musical sights
Suddenly made still by a silent tune of the eyes

A home close to the sky, sculpted by rusty hands
Of life in quest to see the unnoticed unseen
Colourful clouds roofing the inhabitable home
Green blue matrix of endless rainbows
Confluent in the mouth of wonder

Visions from the windows within the mind
Stories in the light of the dawn within the eyes
Making the tree of dreams glowing stronger
High as the sun, bright as the stars
Crossing the night, hands in hands with the universe

To see deeper is to be seen by the unseen
To see wider is to belong from the deep to beyond
Infinite arms embracing infinite roads as one
Infinite time embracing finite lives as eternal
Voyages in time and space in the ship of deep insight...
