Stop Running Away (2026) Original Acrylic Painting by Lukasz Olek

Stop Running Away originated from a winter landscape by a lake - cold, still and austere, yet marked by a distinct sense of hope.
For Łukasz Olek, such moments become starting points rather than subjects to be reproduced literally. The place is filtered through memory, emotion and music, then reduced until what remains is atmosphere rather than description.
The emotional tension of the work lies in the contrast between severity and reassurance. The landscape may feel distant and restrained, but the memory connected to it carries a quiet sense of continuation.
A specific song accompanied the moment from which the painting emerged and remains part of the artist’s private diary. The exact reference is intentionally undisclosed.
