When we are looking at the painting, the first thing to analyze is tone, colour combinations, spots and their placement, the image itself. Furthermore, we take into account the idea of the painting, its content, the drawn object, a real one or imaginary, a dreamed one or an abstract, the expressed emotion, sensuality, or context. Observing the paintings, we (both viewers and artists) invest so much in colour, texture, into the specifics of paints that create optical illusions. But we do not always remember the time invested into them; we do not remember about the time and human presence. Painting is a very unique activity: in my case, it is a dialogue, but being alone. It is about being here, and not being somewhere else. And how tangible is this presence?​​
