Milczarek selbst bezieht sich, wenn er von der Inspiration in seiner Malerei spricht, vor allem auf das Werk Caravaggios, auf das Wandern des Lichts in seinem malerischen Raum, auf das Licht, das die Malflächen schneidet, mit all ihren Konsequenzen.

Barocke Antagonismen von Licht und Schatten überträgt Milczarek in die Erfahrung seines eigenen Alltagslebens hinein, wo sie dann gemeinsam das dominante Element seiner visuellen Bildstruktur bilden.

Die Bilder von Dariusz Milczarek haben eine satinierte Textur, ohne Schärfe von Acryl und ohne Ölglanz, sie wurden in der Technik der Eigelb-Tempera gemalt, welche vom Künstler selbst nach alter Technologie hergestellt wurde.

Milczareks Gemälde sind wie kostbare Materie, die aus tausenden von Pinselstrichen in perfekter Ordnung mit meisterlichem Gespür gewoben wurde.
