In the paintings from the series: “Tomorrow I will Sew Myself Anew” I try to show female problems by using lapidary forms and schemes.The themes of my paintings are a reflection of my own reflections on the stereotypes connected with female beauty. I touch on the subject of self-acceptance and elusive pursuit of the ideal. I pay attention to the broad concept of beauty, its intangibleness and relativity. By painting female figures emerging from decorative patterns, I try to present the complexity of female nature. A canon of beauty is a creation of culture and culture, together with the media, promotes images of women that fit the chosen canon – young but above all “touched up”. Women compare themselves with the ideal, which much more resembles a doll that a living person and does not really exist in real life. In commercials, they not only lengthen legs, slimmer the waistline and eliminate wrinkles but very often in order to create a perfect image of the body they use some elements of photographs of a few people. Women desire to fit into this stereotype and their bodies are never good enough in comparison to the virtual body presented in media. In order to draw attention to the unreal character of the figure of an ideal woman created by the media, I used simplified forms again without presenting any details of the anatomical structure of the body. It becomes only a sort of conventional symbol. Flat, multiplied, simplified forms of female body create open compositions, almost abstract. I used two fabrics to create this painting. Between the fabrics, there is some distance created by a wooden frame. The painted female figures are situated in two rows. The two lower figures are whole. The shape of their dresses is different from the forms of the figures painted above. The shapes are not coincidental. I wanted to achieve an impression of balance. The composition is deliberate and symmetric. The symmetry line goes vertically through the middle of the painting. The two female figures in the top row have their sides cut off. The painting is pure in its form, balanced, subtle and poetic. It makes an impression of a three-dimensional image.

I play with combining various techniques, I experiment and look for new solutions. The technique I use corresponds well with the main theme of my works, which is a woman and problems that concern her. It helps me to extract and highlight the unique nature of a woman. The poetry of my paintings carries some hidden contents. An effect of understatement, lyrical atmosphere, which I desire to achieve by using overlaying semi-transparent industrial fabrics that partly cove the lower layer, is supposed to enhance the aura of mystery which surrounds women. I create a world of women, who are beautiful, though sometimes mutilated, a world of women - dolls and folk matryoshkas, who hide their deepest secrets under subsequent layers. By painting female figures emerging from decorative patterns, I try to present the complexity of female nature. The themes of my paintings are a reflection of my own reflections on the stereotypes connected with female beauty. I touch on the subject of self-acceptance and elusive pursuit of the ideal.
