"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."

 

Albert Einstein

The key emotion I wish to convey in my art is a sense of wonder. As a man, I am driven by perennial questions; the Whys of existence. In my professional life, I use curiosity as a tool of the trade.

​

I have been making art for as long as I can remember. I spend my earliest years surrounded by nature in a rural corner of Poland. I was still a child when my family and I moved to a big city. Eventually, I settled in London where I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art and Master’s in Art Psychotherapy. Currently, I divide my time between a clinical role and my artistic endeavours.

​

Nature is my chief influence. Through my art, I attempt to capture ephemeral sights and mental states. I am intrigued by the mind's ability to generate seemingly seamless experiences from the unceasing flow of sense data, thoughts, memories, and feelings. I draw inspiration from psychology, quantum mechanics, and Kabbalah.

​

My approach to art is diverse. I engage in painting, photography, drawing, and printmaking. I enjoy experimenting and pushing the boundaries of my practice. For me, art is a language that allows one to express feelings and experiences that transcend what can be described in words. I think that using multiple means to tell a story is more important than following a particular genre or having a recognisable style.

​

I am enchanted by the alchemy of art. I often grind my paints and inks by hand. This allows me to get familiar with the characters of raw substances and pigments; to both have control and forgo control over my mediums. In my photography, I use self-made optical instruments that allow me to beguile the camera into capturing ambiguous semi-abstract shots. My treatment of photography evokes that of painting as I use various props in much the same way as I would use brushes and colours. Through my method of fractaloscopy I achieved a photographic equivalent of cubism.

"Contemporary optical photographer, Samuel Golc shows the exquisite possibilities of optical art when technology is introduced. His digitized optical art evokes a psychedelic rebirth, whereby his dreamy illusions offer a stimulating and electric experience for the viewer. As a result, his work epitomizes imagination as he uses photographic effects to encapsulate movement and energy".

"Another notable digital artist is optical photographer, Samuel Golc. His digitized optical art provides dreamy illusions, creating a stimulating and electric experience for the viewer. As a he uses photographic effects to express movement and energy, Golc truly shows the wondrous possibilities of the artist's imagination".
