"In Kołpanowicz's painting I saw a symbol of annihilation — an annihilation that falls upon the world when mortals forget that they perform before the most exacting audience: an audience composed of perfect beings."
-
"Marcin Kołpanowicz's pastels are tellings of youthful dreams. Above the steppes of broad horizons here are skies veiled, overgrown with a curtain of windblown clouds. (…) They grow out of greys coloured by poetry."
-
"Marcin Kołpanowicz is among those painters who will enter the third millennium at the height of their creative powers. (…) Sceptical of the extreme outbursts of modern art, he does not cease to be its representative."
-
"Marcin's art arises from the world of a very vivid literature, where freedom and chance do not rule but rather sombre determination and mystical inevitability."
-
"In the early 1980s the Kraków painter revealed himself as a virtuoso, joining without any boundary the hard and rough with the elusive and unattainable — tenement walls with the sky, for example."
