The topic of my dissertation is: „Memory vectors”.

Memory vectors, doctoral thesis focused on the step-by-step process of searching for traces of the past - distant points on the timeline. The search, starting with the most current ones, will cover the present, through the 1960s, to end with the post-war period. The theme of the past, transience and time is present in the works of many artists attempting to visually express this complex concept. What is past is analyzed in different ways by creators; they often focus on preserving and transmitting the memory of historical, cultural and personal events. However, in my research I want to extract fragments from memory that will give me the impulse to create images. I approach what is past in the context of a purely pictorial representation, rejecting any ideological, political, social, religious or other context. The research gap therefore concerns the issue of pictorial memory; artists rarely interpret memory and time using purely painterly means of expression. The present creates a gap to be filled, in which the topic of relationships with the past seems to be an inexhaustible source. The more or less distant past is overlaid with the ever-changing present and my view of it - the artist's view. The research gap is created live, as it were - when the present becomes the past, following Husserl; relevance turns into retention.
