The creative work of Maciej Syrek is romantic, supplemented from time to time, with Baroque ornamentation. His work is strongly affected by his fascination with history, philosophy, metaphysics and mysticism of the Old Testament. His roots, Krosno, Poland and its environs (the borderland of cultures called the Carpathian melting pot in which the influences of many nations, ethnic groups and religions mix into a harmonious whole) all play an important role.
His intricate bronze work promotes intensity of patina and adds to the connection with the light of the sculpture and mystic mysteriousness moods. His works are mainly figurative, sometimes seen ironically other times capturing an expression of poverty and pain. The other theme of his works is chess, which has captivated his imagination.
