Tension between sensual experience and intellectual construction is characteristic of Sadowski’s art. Sadowski often refers to natural landscape and derives from it his poetics, penetrates forest as archetipical terrain, he visits it in his dreams and transforms nature’s image into mental code so creating his own, contenplatively intensive pictures.
