A Relative’s Soul Leaving the Body

A Relative’s Soul Leaving the Body
1984, 136x136cm, oil on canvas

It’s almost the only picture painted in Germany with a Polish title. Taking care of the deceased takes as much time as painting a picture (a week?). CzesΠaw then died, my relative, who stood out, in my opinion, with the fact that all his life he was pushed and did not lose a modest and self-sacrificing (ready to sacrifice, dedicated), a proud and good-natured physiognomy.
He lived in Kielce at my grandmother’s in the kitchen and in addition to working in a warehouse, where he found fulfilment, he solved crossword puzzles. All the large kitchen in Kiliƒskiego Street was full of crossword notebooks stacked under the bed, in the closet, and in many other places.
