The artist states that his artistic activity can be formally divided into two categories: “expressive” and “reserved”. “Expressive” works are mainly black and white and keep sacral themes, dynamics in them are achieved by the author himself. In “reserved” works movement occurs due to the environment.
The second category includes long-lasting project of many years “To Be Present” or “My Realism”, typical feature of which is the technique and material they are made of – colourful glace Dutch foil. Thanks to almost mirror surface, we can see our reflections in the works, we are present in them that’s what the name means. And when we look at the painting, standing just against it, we are able to see the realistic enough reflection that’s what Tremba names “my realism”.
