About The Artwork

In my creative work, my main focus is the landscape. Referring to the areas that already exist, bringing them through the filter of my own imagination and memory. I paint large-scale oil canvases using my techniques, the abstracts in their last shape. They can be seen as landscapes “under construction” or in the process of disintegration. I would like to leave the viewer some space for interpretation and interaction."The desert" is a draft name for the project that I have thought about for quite a while. What's important for me is the relationship between nature and the identity and how nature influences the culture. Behind the word "desert" there is a range of meanings and symbols which play a role in how we relate to the subject. The variety of meanings give us a space for creative exploration. Relating to a metaphor, a desert is a place of wandering and emptiness, but also withdrawal from the outside world into the world of thought and spirit. It is a place of abandonment, temptation, transformation, transgression. The scenery of hallucinations, illusions, false reflections and wrong beliefs, wandering and death. It could be also a state of mind. A desert is a primary place that was once a sea. At the same time, it is the reverse of the sea. The word "desert" may bring to mind a flow of sand which is akin to the passage of time. The silence and stillness to be associated with persistence, or quite contrary - with a bustling desert life which is also a home to a variety of plants and animals. In the desert, the contradictions come to the fore. Some deserts are very hot, other deserts have cold winters or the extreme heat during the day and the frosty climate at night. The desert could be the hottest and the coldest place at the same time. It is "nothing" or "everything", "the end" or the "beginning", “Somewhere” and “nowhere”. "The desert" in itself has shared not a singular experience, as we all experience life and death, the fear and excitement, the closeness and the abandonment.

 “I am delighted by this exhibition. It displays a rare sense of beauty, the drama of the world and man's place in it. The paintings are technically bold and highly accomplished (...). It's a very pleasant surprise for me that something like this Is So close. There's a huge sense of drama and tension in the work and a great question mark regarding human existence. Also, a very dynamic organisation of space ... the images are superb" Prof. Andrzej Strumiłło about „The desert” project Aleksandra Batura (b.1982) a Warsaw based artist and mother of two sons. Aleksandra does easel painting. She has undertaken numerous video projects, experimented with painting and drawing techniques as well as designed and completed several mural paintings.
