“He is a passionate lover of nature, and above all, of light and its colorful phantasmagoria. His tempestuous, restless temperament does not allow him to conform to the framework of a coldly conceived composition, nor to engage in patient planning and elaboration of details. With impatient passion, he throws himself into his subject, eager to capture it as quickly as possible and transfer it to the canvas.” E. Woroniecki, “A Vision of Venice in Winter” (on the occasion of Włodzimierz Terlikowski’s exhibition), *Świat* 1927, no. 50, pp. 11–12.
