When

Where
Mińska 65, Warsaw
Type
Festival, motorcycle paintings

On 12 September 2026, at the first FIA Fashion Is Art Warsaw at Mińska 65, I showed a series of paintings on a motorcycle theme: helmets, boots and gloves. Photos from shoots featuring both the paintings and motorcycle gear completed the display.

One of the biggest attractions was a limited-series BMW F800R that a friend of mine rode in on. Together we rounded off the presentation: a real machine standing next to the paintings as their natural extension.

There was also an idea that let guests get even closer to the art. They left their signatures and tags on the bike's top case, marking that they had been there. They stopped being mere viewers and became part of the whole project.

The presentation drew a lot of interest. What mattered most to me was that a real motorcycle closed the distance between people and art. The paintings gained a counterpart in an object everyone knows from everyday life; they felt closer and more approachable, and guests walked up to the works and engaged with them more freely.
