Barbara Dyoniziak-Stuss was born in 1952. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk and Łódź and graduated in 1981. She is involved in painting, drawing and graphic design. “Here the lyrical debauchery follows a grotesque tenderness, Formal beauty hides the bashful humanistic essence, Female nude hides numerous basic yearnings, Children the world into temptation, Is a dream or is it real? Or maybe even something else? Behind the curtain of the canvas, there is another and another one. A theme exchanges another theme that changes the original design and retreats to the starting point. An enchanted circle is hidden under the mantle of a light-hearted play or a crazed carousel of time and events. At first glance, nothing seems to happen in the pictures, they are just pleasant to look at. They explode with surprises only after longer and closer attention is paid. It is an eruption of artistic perfidiousness and numerous talents! At first, a mere female painting, then the artist becomes a demon! A wonderful metamorphosis!," says Andrzej Grun, an art critic about her paintings.
