"Elżbieta Dzikowska: You once said:
"Art is a road." A road to what?
Jacek Sempoliński: Most simply to the Kingdom of
God. Every person travels this road, but
art does so in a special way, for it
is an act through which man contacts
with the fullness of material and spiritual reality.
And to this contact he strives. Thus, the path is
striving. With my art I speak of my aspiration."
