The works in the 'Rybka' series are inspired by the design art of pre-war Warsaw. Rybka is my own interpretation of 'gorseciki' - rectangular tiles  with a cut-out along the longer side - which were particularly popular during the interwar period. The unique shape of each individual Rybka means that when arranged in larger number, they always fit together perfectly, regardless of the direction in which they are laid. The process involved in creating this piece, much like the first in the series, took me over a year. The composition was executed in the form of a coffered panel.

material

 

All the pieces were handcrafted using a proprietary concrete ceramics technique I developed myself. The binder used for each individual Rybka tile is white portland cement, which is characterised by its high strength. Its very high degree of whiteness makes it possible to achieve any colour for the tiles. The pigments used to colour the composite mixture are the highest quality, finely ground oxides of iron, chromium, cobalt and titanium. They are characterised by high colour uniformity and are resistant to weathering and UV radiation. 

An essential component of the composite mass in tile production is micro-aggregate, specially formulated by me from quartz sands with strictly defined physical and chemical parameters. Subjected to a special technological process, they allow for the regulation of the uniformity and porosity of the composite mass. 

When creating the correct composite formula for each tile, fine-grained additives and the latest-generation admixtures are used; thanks to their microscopic structure, these enable the production of a highly durable material with increased resistance to fire, water, chemical agents and abrasion. 

All stages of the technological process are designed and selected individually for each of my works.
