"Often when describing Kalucki's art, critics used the term "philosophical constructivism." Jaromir Jedlinski wrote that it is an "insightful" oeuvre; he stressed that it is characterized by "discreet balance"; while Jaroslaw Kozlowski spoke of "new constructivism." However, in contrast to the search of the constructivists, Kalucki pays attention to the personal dimension, the artist does not seek to revolutionize the world, he even believes that the social responsibility of the creator is a job well done, a well-constructed art."
