The artist most often portrays animals and nature in fast and decisive brush strokes. His illustrations are realistic, they do not embellish nor idealise nature. Wilkoń is rarely interested in humans, but the psychological portraits of animals created by him are essentially portraits of people. Using animals as metaphors, much can be said about people. He is primarily inspired by nature: the atmosphere remembered from his childhood spent in the mountainous village of Bogucice, scenic landscapes and the mysterious world of animals, among which he grew up. The artist manages to give universal form to these fascinations and personal passions. Wilkoń highly values artists who introduce poetic elements into their work, such as Marc Chagall, but he also feels a certain affinity with the exotic art of the Far East. The artist willingly experiments with different painting techniques, although he typically uses ink, watercolour and dry pastels.
