Natalia Fundowicz

I was born in Cracow, Poland, in 1991. I graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow in 2017.

I divide my life between painting and family life, because I am a mother of two little boys. Being pregnant started a new stage in my art. I painted intuitively, often abstractly, with pure colors, most often with watercolors on large canvases, inspired by the body of a woman and Kandinski's texts. I started to work horizontally, putting the canvas on the floor.I wanted to transfer the same effect to my paintings as I had on the drawings and sketches that I had painted on a wet surface. So I started covering the entire canvas with water before applying the first brush strokes and stains. I wanted a blur effect.

I gave my painting a characteristic form, until today using mainly the water technique, affirming the woman's body and life, transforming them in my own way. I love to show their delicacy, and at the same time extraordinary strength and courage, movement, line, beauty and emotions.

Currently, I am in love with raw canvases, not primed. Color, structure or even their smell is something beautiful to me. In the future, I am thinking of abandoning figurative painting in order to get absorbed by abstraction.
