“People choose different ways to their individual goals, such as fame and wealth, some do it guardedly and others rapidly, some use violence and others use deception, some do it patiently and others impatiently – and all of them can arrive there taking different ways.”
Henryk Sienkiewicz
Dawid Czycz uses animal images in his works. Animalistic themes in art owe their popularity to the multi-track interpretation; they are carriers of many meanings, including an analogy to the human nature. A horse harnessed to a yoke indisputably connotes hard labour. However, the animal painted by the artist is pulling the load that is levitating, which implies that not every work must be a toil and not every duty – a burden. The artist does not impose conclusions; they will depend on the viewer’s personal experiences.
