ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This is the painting 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 this work and all others in the cycle I tried to tame my own fears and thoughts. It is my way of dealing with the passing time. I created this painting in my own unique technique which allows me to achieve the effect of interpenetrating planes. I use two layers of overlaying semi-transparent industrial fabrics with decorative flowers patterns which I submit to the painting processing. There is a distance of a wooden between the two layers. The painting makes an impression of being three dimensional. Depending on the angle that you look at it from, you can see better both layer or just the top one, if you look from a side. The painting has open and symmetrical composition and form layout presenting female shapes. It is painted on two juxtaposed industrial fabrics. I used two similar fabrics that I found. Both of them have a dark blue background and small scattered white flowers with pink dots in the centre. On the lower layer of the fabric, the flowers in the background are painted blue which allowed figures of women to emerge, I filled their figure with linear shapes of small leaves (by condensing the original pattern of the fabric). This painting requires no frame, the edges are painted and it's ready to hang in place. It will be shipped in a professionally constructed timber crate.

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.
