The artist is primarily interested in large-format photograms. Barszczak focuses on archetypal substances (elements), understood in philosophical terms, and makes reference to mythological figures. In the late 1990s, he started to minimise his means of expression and turned his energies to forms known from geometrical abstraction. Barszczak consciously archaises his form of expression.
