During the entire performance, the artist explained the principles of painting with the pouring technique, what materials are needed to make such a painting and what effects can be obtained thanks to various techniques.

The performance of the choir "Volantes Soni" conducted by Paweł Łuczak was an unforgettable culmination of the 10th anniversary of "Time of Professionals".
