About the Item

"I keep coming back to the same places IX" 2017 Black and Silver abstract composition. She graduated from the University of Fine Arts Nicolaus Copernicus in Torun, Poland. She graduated with honors in paintings and visual arts in 2014. She is a young emerging artist exhibiting in Europe. Her work is visually captivating with great details and movement. Artist Statment: On the surface, these images do not represent anything. They’re compilations of color patches and lines. However, the forms that these two basic components take, create new entities and a variety of paths for interpretation. A patch is the pure color of the background. It’s a vibrating color, living its own, intense life. It’s also a background for the line drawing. In my painting, I decided to treat these two elements as one. The lines are as intense in color as the patches. The line is no longer just a drawing; it’s an equal component of the painting, it creates the painting with its color. While painting, I always kept the same order of applying the paint, so that the line evenly covers the patch, and, observed from a sufficient distance, becomes a patch itself. This creates a kind of optical illusion. Our site has to adapt to drizzle, to a peculiar noise caused by the equivalent of all the elements of the painting whose planes permeate. This mutual permeation enlivens the elements of the painting which seem to vibrate, become liquid and lively. And it was this effect of liquidity that inspired me. I was wondering how to convey the movement of not only water but of everything that lives and grows, of everything that is natural. I decided that multiplication, repeatability of the theme and the equal character of these features will be the common features that to a great extent will present my interests. The „Noise” series is strictly inspired by nature. One could say that the series represents nature, but it’s a representation so deeply reduced that the true forms of real things disperse and blur, revealing their true meaning.” Exhibition: "Interference", WMiI Nicolaus Copernicus University, Torun 2016 "Image Open", Gallery Brda, Bydgoszcz 2015 "Noise", Gallery of the Vistula River, Torun 2014 "Balc" Black Hole Gallery, Toruń 2010 Exhibition of paintings, Mont Blanc Cafe, Torun 2010 25 OPMM PROMOTIONS Gallery of Art in Legnica, Legnica 2015 "Diplomas 2014" Centre of Contemporary Art Signs of Time, Torun 2015 Venice Biennale Cieszyn, Cieszyn 2014 "The views of Torun ', Arthur's Court, Torun 2011 "Colour of Sound - Sound Color", Gallery 011, Torun 2010 Artistic Scholarship of the President of Torun, 2015 International outdoor artistic 'views of Torun' Torun 2012 International workshop painting "Revealing the Spirit of Florence", Florence, 2011 Scholarship Studentenwerk Gottingen, Gottingen, 2009 I Interdisciplinary Art Plein Air "Colour of Sound - Sound Color" Wolkowyja, 2009
