It is a visual interpretation of the phenomenon known in psychology connected with human ability (need) for ascription to something which shape is not clearly defined and only seems to be something familiar the value of religious miraculous  vision. That way some more or less random shape or sign evoke interpretation as holy picture, even if has had been created as an effect of the nature activity. My tapestry is trying to keep the synthesis of the numerous pictures seen in my childhood representing the Holy Virgin combined with the symbolic way of life. I’d like to put into my work a kind of ambiguity giving to the viewer chance to choose its own way of interpretation, let’s hope – full of positive energy becoming from simplicity of form and modesty of raw material. 

In 2010 Miracle won a Bronze Medal at 6th From Lausanne to Beijing Biennale in Zhengzhou (China) and its motive  become a leading on all prints connected with that event: posters, catalogue cover official banners.  

In 2014 work was in display at the exhibition Milagro organized in National Gallery in San Jose in Costa Rica and Central Museum of Textiles in Lodz in connection with enouncement of the truly miracle done by Jean Paul II to a Costa Rican mortal ill  woman.
