| Dariusz Król is an artist displaying perhaps the most important virtue of any creative activity, i.e. taking great care in making his pictures, without which it must ba hardly possible to produce any genuine and lasting work of arts. All his paintings are a model example in art, showing mastery, awillingness to take technical challenges, a statement of demanding great care in art and a test of focusing. Yet, there is nothing in his art to suggest that he tries hard or makes the efforts of a prize pupil; the systematic nature of his work results in aninformal and strainless style. This must be the most difficult accomplishment in all the professions and probably in any performance through doing something, in arts and crafts as well, and in all sectors of production: where everyone of us is expected to do his job so that the product or the work of art will look natural, simple and necessary, somthing impossible to devise in a different way, but just as it has been conceived at the end by the artist, the artisan, the scientist and the gardener making use of his prctical experience at work to realize his mostindividual ideas and intentions.
In the objects by Dariusz Krol the media of working, the subject of his activity, the material of his message, the reason for his awarness, the motives for his acts are all self_explanatory, you could well say that match the conditions given, or in other words they are determined by his biography and this is what you call painting nature with the inexhaustible offerings of the genre.
He was born and brought up, started his career as an artist in a region i South East Poland where the flora, the enviorment would render the marvel of natural beauty a common experience of the sensitive mind, the changings of the atmosphere and the seasons would determine the way of life suggesting a kind of pantheistic feeling. Dariusz Król was made an artist by the woods, meadows, streams, haze and dawn there; it is from the most competent professors, the natural phenomena from whom he has learnt the laws of light refraction, the rules for matching of complementary colors and also the fact that in this respect there are more exceptions to the processes than the rules explained as obligatory by textbooks
