Mixture of an apricot custard with turpentine taste, intense like Chanels` NO 5.
The ambiguity of his work affects the viewer imagination and provokes the effort to “look through” his works.
 
Manski`s pink cave is filled with dummies, wigs, furs, and tool cabinets, which brings loneliness or other serious feelings. Main advantage of his art is its concentration and determination to find the right form for invented ideas describing contemporary world. Therefore the greatest part of Manski`s artistic statement is his self portrait, depicted the artist who doesn`t tell us his preaches with all do's and don'ts, which we all should be aware. He rather tells us more about his researchers and thoughts than about the ideas invented for building up the art market with its funny values.
Free flow of ideas is contained in the form supplied with obsessive fetish, which can be powerful only when it is authentic. 
 
I liked Manskis` pink, which might be very tricky and easily turn into chip and trashy pinki pink. His version is more refined. In my opinion can be associated with Coco Channel or femininity represented by Elisabeth-Louise Vigée- Lebrun in Self portrait in a Straw Hat, 1782. Therefore I think that Jan Manski should patent his pink because of its undeniable picturesque abilities.

Shortcuts
Pink dental chair, hypochondriac fears combined with pleasure comes from maintaining a fetish, failure popping up form latex porn movies, cybernetic Hasior*, fly trapped in amber.
