About The Artwork
From my series: History Of The 21st Century Title: Smolensk 2010 I think we all tend to forget too easily, so I created a series of artworks under the theme "The History of the 21st Century." My work does not take on any political perspective, yet rather commemorates events so as keep these past episodes alive in our common memory. In doing so the art provokes viewers to understand our lives today and the influence it has had of the most recent past along with its impact on current global policies. The project consists of multiple works grouped around current events. In the series there are artworks dedicated to: - MH 17 - New York 9/11 - 2010 Smolensk - Fukushima - Chemical Attacks in Syria (and others - check my gallery "The History Of The 21st Century") "On 10 April 2010, a Tupolev Tu-154 aircraft of the Polish Air Force crashed near the city of Smolensk, Russia, killing all 96 people on board. Among the victims were the President of Poland Lech Kaczyński and his wife Maria, the former President of Poland in exile Ryszard Kaczorowski, the chief of the Polish General Staff and other senior Polish military officers, the president of the National Bank of Poland, Polish Government officials, 18 members of the Polish Parliament, senior members of the Polish clergy and relatives of victims of the Katyn massacre. The group was arriving from Warsaw to Smolensk in Russia to attend an event marking the 70th anniversary of the Katyn massacre, which took place not far from Smolensk. The Katyn massacre - is a mass murder of Polish intellectuals, politicians, and military officers by the Soviets during World War II. The site of the massacre is approximately 19 km (12 mi) west of Smolensk. Russia is still in possession of the wreckage of the Tupolev, having refused various requests made by the Polish government to return the items. (Wikipedia) The re-investigation is still on. I offer a high quality print on art paper (Gallery quality) size in cm: 115 x 90 Limited edition of 3 + 2 AP If interested, it can be printed on aluminium, dibont, canvas or a smaller size - please contact me.

Hi, I am Sylvia, I was born and raised in a small Polish city near the Polish-German border. In my art, I try to describe our times – with the main point on language, culture and woman issues - problems, identity, gender. To connect Words with concepts. Art offers an incredible opportunity to communicate -- using as few words as possible.- - with people of all languages and all backgrounds – we can interchange ideas, present certain points of view, transmit them one to another, and even without direct contact, we communicate. During my art studies (postgraduate) I took part in some open juried international art calls for artists. As a result, my first exhibitions were juried international ones. The one I’m especially proud of is 12th Global Biennale of Graphic Design Golden Bee, where the members of preselection online jury came from South Korea, Iran, Czech Republic, Switzerland, USA, Japan and Ukraine and the members of the main jury were from Germany, France, Switzerland, Japan, Russia, Estonia, and the USA. My poster “Dante For Ever” got included in the final exhibition and printed catalog. This event had a huge impact on me, as I found out that my art, in this case, poster art can be understood by people of different cultural ties and backgrounds. After graduation I was supplementing my income by working as a translator in a press agency – that was a great experience that opened my eyes on global issues, and since that time, I try to follow (by internet) all the most interesting topics that will have global impact like e.ex elections in the US. I follow also some of the congressional hearings, as they are much more interesting than feature films ; - ) I hope one day I will visit the USA and the Capitol and watch Congress in session; -) I never know where the inspiration will come from; sometimes it is a short press article, or “breaking news”, sometimes it is a sentence, or an object or a place. That is why I reach for so many seemingly incompatible topics and themes while working with many different techniques. In my digital art, I only use the photos I made, including sometimes pieces of my previous artworks, that I destroyed for a number of different reasons.
