My Museum of Material Culture: A Living Archive of Art, Energy, and Everyday Beauty

My museum is not just a space—it is a piece of art in itself. Located in a historic building where beer was brewed and bottled for over a century, it carries the weight of memory in its bricks, the echo of hands that labored, the scent of earth and fermentation. I’ve filled it not with relics of the past, but with the living, vibrating presence of now. This space, once dedicated to craft and care, is reborn as a sanctuary of material culture—an evolving, breathing archive of the objects, energies, and intentions that shape a life.
From early on, I knew I would open a museum. That quiet certainty guided me through years of creation. I never sold a single painting—not because they weren’t wanted, but because I knew they had a role to play in something greater. I have kept my entire collection, a complete visual record of my artistic evolution, waiting for the moment it could live in dialogue with itself—and with others—under one roof.
A few works have left my hands, but only as gifts—given to people or institutions for whom they were meant. Those paintings were born in response to specific souls. They are exactly where they belong.
My museum will feature rotating exhibitions from this lifelong collection, offering viewers new ways of seeing and feeling the passage of time through form, color, and intention. And beyond the exhibitions, there is the Museum Gift Shop—a space where you can take a piece of this energy home with you. Here, I will offer a special, limited edition series of 100 paintings from my HeartGLO project. Each piece will be made with the same devotion and energy as the rest of my work, but these paintings will be accessible—affordable to many.
The concept is simple and radical: you pay “co łaska.”
This Polish phrase means “whatever you can.”
Admission to the museum follows the same principle. Art, beauty, and energy should not be reserved for the rich or famous. They are for everyone—for those who seek them with an open heart. Money is one currency, yes. But love, presence, and soul connection are just as powerful. If I feel your heart beaming with love and you have no money, I will gift you a painting. Freely. That is part of the energy flow, too.
In this way, the museum becomes more than a space of display—it becomes a portal. A space of exchange, communion, memory, and resonance. A place where objects are not just things, but vessels of intention. A place where art meets life, where every spoon and every canvas tells a story of becoming.
This is my museum of material culture.
A living, radiant archive of who I am,
and an offering to the world I love.
Visits are by appointment only and require a short video introduction before entering my sacred space.
