Missing Beauty belongs to the Desolate Beauty Project. It combines, although seemingly mutually exclusive, beauty and decay. Beauty is gorgeous women, whereas decay describes the physical condition of places where I invite them and make them immortal. Women are wearing beautiful robes (for instance, long ball gowns) or are naked – anyhow, they are always beautiful. This unusual combination has a strong impact on my sense of aesthetics and state of mind. In my case, the sum of beauty and decay always results in … beauty (like good triumphs over evil).

“Photography connects the real world with the universe of emotions. It reconciles the mind with the soul. It allows me to walk the path of continuous development. Per aspera ad Astra (…)”. – Radek's credo Photographer holding the international title of Artiste Fédération Internationale de l’Art Photographique (AFIAP) and the title of Artist Photographer (AFRP) and an actual member of the Fotoklub of the Republic of Poland. Radek’s photography has a universal quality, with a distinct focus on people, understood in an exceptionally broad sense.
