KOLORY DWA - Geometric Deconstruction of Kielce with a Special Prize

Special Prize in the "Kielce in Animation" Competition for "KOLORY DWA" 

The final gala of the second edition of the national competition "Kielce in Animation", held at the Moskwa cinema in Kielce, brought me a distinction in the form of a Special Prize. My competition entry, titled "Kolory dwa" (Colors Two), was evaluated by a jury chaired by Zbigniew Żmudzki - the Oscar-winning producer of "Peter and the Wolf." 

In the statement of the verdict, Mr. Żmudzki emphasized the fully professional level of the production, pointing out the film's potential for participation in international film festivals. This is a crucial confirmation for me of both the technical and artistic quality of this project. 

Continuation and Change in Visual Language 

The film "KOLORY DWA" is a conceptual continuation of my previous work, "KOLORY", which won first place in the inaugural edition of the competition in 2014. While both films share the theme of an original interpretation of the city, this year's project represents a step toward radical minimalism. 

In contrast to the multi-colored first part, the main point of reference for "Kolory dwa" was the work of Piet Mondrian. The adopted geometric rigor allowed for a new deconstruction of characteristic landmarks of Kielce, which in individual scenes were reduced to raw, abstract forms. The composition is based on a precise rhythm of three colors: yellow, black, and red, with the latter being replaced by blue as the narrative progresses. My goal was to depict the city's architecture not in a literal way, but as a dynamic arrangement of planes and lines. 

Soundtrack 

An essential element completing the artistic vision is the musical score. In the animation, I used a piece by composer Paweł Łukowiec, performed by pianist Marek Mizera. I would like to thank both artists for their permission to use their work – the dynamics of the composition harmonize perfectly with the rhythm of the geometric transformations of the image.

How to Make Your Product Speak Before Anyone Even Touches It

In a world overflowing with visuals, your product has only seconds to make an impression. You want people not just to see it — but to feel its story, its quality, and the idea behind it. The challenge? Static images rarely do justice to the experience you’ve built. They can show what your product looks like, but not what it feels like.  That’s where motion design in 3D changes everything.  Imagine this:  A small plastic jar slowly rotates in the light. The cap twists open, and three tablets pop up playfully — as if inviting the viewer to explore. After a brief moment, they gently drop back inside, the lid closes with a smooth click, and the jar completes its turn, revealing a clean label with your logo.  It’s just a few seconds of motion — yet it tells a complete story of innovation, precision, and trust.  This is the power of motion design:  • It turns a simple product shot into an immersive visual story.   • It helps your a...

Behind the Visual Design of the 40th World Youth Day of the Diocese of Kielce

For this year’s 40th World Youth Day of the Diocese of Kielce, held on November 22, 2025 at the Congress Center - Targi Kielce, I had the opportunity to create the background visuals and the intro animation displayed on stage during the event. The starting point for the intro was the official promotional poster designed by Jakub Radek. Using elements from the poster, I developed animated sequences that matched the event’s visual identity and worked well with the stage lighting and overall atmosphere. Seeing the visuals presented live—together with the music, lighting, and the energy of the audience—was a meaningful moment. It’s always satisfying to watch a digital project become part of a real, shared space. I’m grateful for the chance to contribute to the visual side of this celebration.
