ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In my painting I consider not only the idea of FEMININITY, but balance and the MALE element in it are important. In mid-2023, I started the series of paintings "Shield" and then "ECCE HOMO". These are male nudes that are portraits of the male body and soul - a symbol of strength and honor. In the modern world, we ask many questions about the role of masculinity, the proper definition of the male element and the balance between what is feminine and masculine in each of us. For me, it is the masculine strength that carries the energy of truth, focus and endurance like the above-mentioned "shield". So, you can say "Here is man - Ecce Homo" and in this context think about the harmony of beings and complementation in mutual relationships and life. These are still questions about the true meaning of existence, just like in many painting cycles about women.

Malina Wieczorek has been painting women for several decades. These acts can certainly be included in the so-called of conceptual art. The figures of the women she creates are reflected as if in Venetian mirrors, unaware of the observation to which they have been exposed and, in a sense, condemned. Most often they emerge from the interior of the painting somewhat shyly, half-gesture or half-profile. Similar and different at the same time. Lonely, yet clearly present among us. The artist used to call them acts, and this term can be applied to both the physical and spiritual spheres. The "Madonnas" series, realized since 2020, refers to the classic iconography and identity related to the culture of the regions. The artist replaces the halo with a pattern made of folk rollers, sometimes this halo is somewhere on the side, redefining the way in which the "sanctity" of women is shown and asking the question, what is it today? Often one can get the impression that it irritates the body, cuts into it, hurting. At other times, it is like a flower meadow around the heroines of the painting. It is this ambiguity and the possibility of self-interpretation, depending on the moment of life, one's own history, the mood of the recipient, that is the most interesting for the artist. Malina Wieczorek's conceptual painting finds answers to who we are in emotions. Although we call it "painting", Malina actually draws with a brush. These are drawn pictures. Worn backgrounds, always a contour, gray paint and a lot of free space for free associations. The backgrounds on which the shapes appear are usually red, brick red, orange, or gray. A gray outline on a gray background is practically the ideal of imperceptible painting. There are some contradictions in her work. He uses strong colors but doesn't really want it to be visible. Strong colors are not her ideal. But then again, how can you talk about feelings and emotions without using contrasting colors?
