Mastering the postmodern language of art since the 1980s, Henryk Cześnik has long associated his artistic life with Sopot and the 'romantic bohemia' that sets the tone for the entire culture of Poland's Baltic Coast region. There's also an unusual atmosphere, where this bohemian magical clashes with the 'unhealthy spa culture' that Sopot is known for, which has clearly had a profound impact on Cześnik's nihilistic and unnatural world of expression.

It is his and only his inner portrait human, or rather humanity. It is an irrational image of Homo sapiens that calls itself a supposedly rational being. Therefore, the heroes of his canvases are deformed caricatures of characters - torn, dismembered, deformed and perhaps terribly lonely in his escape from a reality that hurts so much it tears apart. It is a sincere and real world, and at the same time metaphysically existential. Suffering and pain have their color, space, temperament and even a kind of romance here. Is it possible? Everything seems possible in Henryk Cześnik's paintings. Only He can Combine the unbearable charm of decadence with the experiential and at the same time questionable romance of corporeality. Only he draws sarcasm and irony from the myth and symbol of the horse in Polish (and even European) painting, and fascinating. Only he treats "noble and dramatic" themes with a perverse distance, at the same time giving them only a characteristic feature. In his work, he boldly deals not only with the symbolism of the seven deadly sins, but above all with the whole literal the experience of "expulsion from paradise". The result is loneliness, illness, suffering, madness and the overwhelming feeling that life hurts at times, real and experimental pain.
