Portraits, 2006
Portraits and selfportraits are among the main subjects of Materka's works. The two presented here - Bartek's selfportrait and a portrait of his wife, Joanna - are the most mature and expressive works in the series of images formed out of letters, as if in ASCII code.

Tytus, 2005
oil on canvas, 80 x90 cm
One of many paintings depicting the artist's son - Tytus and, at the same time, one of his works with the characteristic "delaminatio" of colors, which resembles a TV broadcast with interferences or a faulty printout. A defect common in mechanically-produced images, was adapted here as a studied and deliberate effect.
