Zalesky's work, as an outsider artist, is a metaphysical reflection on the human condition, balancing between the visible and the invisible. His creations blend expressive figurativeness with abstraction, depicting figures that disintegrate and morph into swirling forms. The artist explores themes of human freedom, existential uncertainty, and constant transformation, drawing on existential philosophy (Sartre, Heidegger) and the concept of eternal return (Nietzsche). His work, rooted in the Art Brut and critical art movements, raises questions about the authenticity of existence in a world dominated by norms and ideologies. Zalesky’s art fits within the broader context of contemporary critical art, which responds to complex social and political challenges. Working at the intersection of various disciplines- ranging from drawing and painting to film and digital graphics-he explores both figurative and abstract traditions, creating works that balance on the threshold of these two worlds.

The artist employs contrasts of form and color to create dynamic compositions. The figures, often deformed, transition from figurativeness to abstraction, merging with the surrounding space. Lines and fragments of bodies form arabesque structures that teeter between chaos and harmony, reflecting both the disorder of the modern world and the inner turmoil of the individual. Color and form, therefore, serve as vehicles for emotion and profound philosophical inquiries into existence.

Each composition represents a personal statement, where the incompleteness of forms, fragments of figures, and pieces of the pictorial space create tension between structure and disintegration. It is a collision of chaos and harmony, a transformation of figures into symbols, and lines into gestures, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the cosmic journey of humanity through the infinity of the inner world.
