....... I performed, I interacted... The experience with the From Pub and Praffdata initiatives initiated the formation of an alternative, artistic form of business. In 2010, Robert Brylewski invited the artist, along with Maciek Wilski, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the band Kryzys. After this successful performance, the two artists decided to return to painting collaboration.

Maciej Wilski was born on 01.04.1956. From 1979 to 1984 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. And in 1984 he received with a very good result and honors the title of Master of Arts. The first informal exhibition of the Group from 1983, at BWA - Lublin.

In 1984, a solo exhibition at the DZIEKANKA Gallery.

At that time I felt a strong need to combine the expression of music, and painting movement. Out of this came the first painted performance - to which I invited, artists participating in the open-air workshop held in Kraśnik (1984).

At the end of the 1980s, the artist temporarily stopped practicing art after more than 20 years.

In 2010, Faustyn Chelmecki invited the author to paint together during the 25th anniversary of the KRYZYS Team by painting a picture during the concert.

Since then, the artists have continued to paint pictures together.
