"Poetic humor is a quality rarely found in the fine arts.  Rafal Olbinski has this gift.  He wants to show us that our imagination is a magical world which we are recreating forever.  He draws us into a different universe, and forces us to use our eyes to participate in a marvelous world which is the true dimension of dreams."
Andre Parinaud
