This is what Zbigniew Libera said about Janusz Galuszko's work: "For me his paintings are images of memory. Well, there is a little boy sitting there, because Janusz, although he is already a father, is still a little boy and remembers various images. And it's such and such a different painting, and because he is sensitive, and moreover gifted with a good visual memory, there are many of them in his collection. A scene from "Four Armored and a Dog," from "A Stake Larger than Life" or from Bergman's "The Serpent's Egg," something from real historical events, or even something completely made up. At the same time, he paints as if hastily calling up these images from memory. So he calls them up on the inner retina and registers them quite quickly on the canvas so that they don't disappear. What remains consists more of colors than details. Sometimes even, as in a dream, Janusz's paintings consist of some cut-up pieces, ot a woman is sitting and typing..."
