Here’s where you’ll discover the story behind my art—the inspirations, motivations, and creative process that drives my work.
Artist’s Statement
My paintings result from many processes: discovery, investigation, questioning, searching for evidence, changing directions, letting go, and finding something new. This distillation process condenses what is essential and meaningful.
The human spirit is the mind stream through which I prefer to communicate. It elicits inner strength, resilience, and a sense of purpose—the capacity for hope, courage, and perseverance in adversity. My paintings include geometric and organic shapes moving across an abstract topography. They serve as a cipher for the human condition and a constant reminder that we’re all connected to something greater.
Biography
David Jan Glinski is a contemporary mixed-media artist who lives in Kettering, Northamptonshire, UK. His paintings are mysterious and abstract, yet rooted in the physical world, finding context and carrying underlying narratives. Strong dualities such as light and dark, form and formless, and raw and refined imply simultaneous existences and integrated worlds. The multi-layered works reveal remnants and themes of a journey and a search.
By looking to the human spirit for clues, he makes sense of individual and collective experiences and the cycles of existence, including birth, life, decline, death, and rebirth. The observer can relate to something abstract yet extremely familiar as forms, markings, and colours move through a broader, more expanded universe.
