I try to create forms with practical applications and one-off objects of disciplined structure employing complementary and highest-quality materials.This approach lets the users freely transform and alter my works and adapt them to their individual needs. Each project gives me a new opportunity to explore the materials: glass, ceramics, metal, wood, whose multifarious properties and possibilities have always fascinated me. To me, the process of designing and meeting technological challenges is like meditation. I feel transferred into the structured universe governed by laws of nature which inspire me as an artists and human being. Marcin Litwa
