Flame No. 14

Flame No. 14
2024 – 41 cm x 77 cm – Acrylic and spray on canvas – Pouring technique – Stretched on a wooden frame

Art has the power to illuminate even the darkest soul, just as a flame lights up a cave, a basement, or a house at night: the flame of a candle, the flame of a match in a cave, the flame of hope, the flame moments before it fades, the flame of courage in the depths of fear, the flame of a volcano… seen both up close and from a distance.

Have you ever noticed that a single topic, problem, situation, or even a painting can be viewed in so many different ways and from so many perspectives? What do you see? This piece has a certain magical quality characteristic of paintings created using the pouring technique – there is no fixed position from which it should be viewed. You can decide entirely on your own, choosing the perspective that speaks to you. But does this idea apply only to this painting?

Don Simon – Szymon Półtorak is a Polish painter, artist, and graphic designer whose works stand out with a unique style. His art, the result of years of dedication and experimentation, combines traditional painting techniques with modern artistic solutions. While drawing inspiration from classical influences, Szymon Półtorak develops his own distinctive artistic language that not only captures attention but also evokes deep emotions.

The artist boasts an impressive collection of paintings, with his works reaching clients not only in Poland but also internationally, confirming the global appeal of his art. He also offers personalized commissioned paintings, tailoring his creations to individual client needs. Thanks to his continuously evolving, unique style, his paintings are gaining recognition from an expanding audience and fitting seamlessly into the latest trends in contemporary art.

Each painting is numbered, hand-signed, and comes with a certificate of authenticity issued by Don Simon.
The artwork comes directly from the artist’s studio.
All paintings are hand-painted.
They are created from scratch – from assembling the wooden frame, stretching and preparing the canvas, all done by the artist himself (except for a few pieces in the collection where a special pre-made canvas was used or the painting was created directly on a wall).

The paintings are sold unframed – the first image is a visualization for reference only.
Due to the handmade nature of the frame, the artwork may not have a perfectly square or rectangular shape, as small irregularities can occur accidentally or intentionally as part of the artistic expression.

Some paintings do not have a wooden frame and are sold as standalone canvas, ready for stretching.

For shipments outside the EU, additional customs fees may apply, which are the responsibility of the buyer.
