"If we take life as a theatre where people wear masks against others and separate themselves from each other by wearing costumes; if we take live as a circus where some want to be better then others, more skilfus, stronger, wittier, if we understand life just this way we shall find the life-both the life and ourselves-in the paintings of Dorota Wójcicka - Żurko.

Clownes, acrobats, actors-in the unknown backgrund-in an urban, flims landscape we knowe from our looking out of the window-this is both story and staging, mockery and musing, nostalgia and scoff, drama and comedy. One can take these paintings as metaphor, as fairy tale or as a mirror. They are painted with understanding, sensitivity and care of colours that make the intensity of mood match the intensity of waiting for a show which is to begin before our eyes in a moment."
