The Roadmap
The roadmap for sharing my brother's art on Substack
Personal Commitment: I am dedicating myself fully to this project. I have moved from Poland to Spain for the time being to my brother's apartment, setting aside my own work to focus 100% on preserving and sharing his legacy.
Cleaning and Restoration: All paintings and sketches will be carefully cleaned and restored, if necessary, with a professional from the local art store who knew my brother. This includes necessary preservation techniques like fixing the sketches or relining some of the paintings.
Photographing Artwork: Each painting will be photographed in high quality after restoration.
Digitization Process: All artworks and written materials will be photographed and archived digitally.
Deciphering Writings: I will type out every handwritten note, essay, and manuscript for digital preservation and accessibility. I will also try to provide additional context.
Regular Updates: I plan to upload new content once a week, sharing this journey and my discoveries consistently.
Financial Aspect: Financially, I am in a position to do this project without any help. Thanks to my job in tech, I've been lucky enough to save up enough to focus all my energy on this project without worrying about finances for a while.
Uploading to Substack: All content, including high-quality digital files, will be uploaded here on Substack.
Public Domain Commitment: In line with my brother's beliefs, all digital files will be released for free, as he believed his creations should belong to the public domain.
Future Aspirations: Eventually, I dream of organizing an exhibition of his works. It's a goal I'm keeping in mind as I go through all of this. I like to dream big.
