Plonske about his work:

I paint and draw in front of nature, but from the fantasy of the instant, too, - intermediate stages and transitions enclosed. Every now and then I feel, the depth of the internal dimension of every in volume, form, color, shade, habitus and gestus, sound, smell,… substantial being constitutes its basic sensation: it is standing open to transcendence and perceptible in a certain taking-back-oneself. Keeping with open senses in undesigned stillness and marvelling astonishment while looking at the inner or outer substantial beings and things, that leads the working hand best.

Motives of the unconscious are determining oftentimes my work: semiotic imaginations, even on large surface pictorial differentiated out, often fashioned out in love with details. My field of work reaches from pure abstract fashions to epic broad and large. However, symbolic figuration.
