Cherry on a pie Painting

... images of dreams and events. The presented work constitutes the painter's personal diary that by means of the brush and oil memorize sensations and experiences, sharing with us her vision of a subjective sense of transience. The original work of young artist challenges the generally accepted model of artistic convention usually inlfuencing the viewer with existential sadness and confusion often even with downright incomprehensible ugliness or eccentricity. On Joanna's paintings we will not find shocking content affected with existential pessimism, so characteristic of the majority of contemporary artists. Therefore her work can be safely included to the niche genres of art. Although full of joy it is simultaneously a reflective art, mysterious and dreamy, bursting with baroque richness and rich in all shades of red. Despite abundance of expression, the artist skillfully maintains balance and avoids the triumph of form over substance. Warm colours and soft line bring to the mind a quote from Emerson "The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone". But the artist can catch such moments and give them a solid form changing sand into gold. - Joanna Babiarz
