About The Artwork
Work means joining the female voice of the Polish street, "WYPIERDALAĆ" (get the fuck out) - motto of Polish Woman Strike triggered by total abortion ban. Slogan "Riot Not Diet" is not mine, but it perfectly reflects the spirit of disagreement with the control of our bodies and fates and with the attempts to impose on women who and what they should be. We do not need to please everyone, so we do not have to be polite, quiet, nice, slim, pretty, young, smiling - that is, as the patriarchy wishes. We will stand up, scream, riot, swear, grow old and do what we want. We're gonna send the hell to anyone who wants to put us in the mold of their needs. By making a self-portrait, I wanted to strengthen the message by signing it all with my image as a specific person - face, figure, age, body language ... Work was created for the Street Art exhibition at Warsaw's "Koneser" Center. At the vernissage at Butelkownia, there were many nice meetings and some interesting interactions with my work and myself; but my favorite was the situation when a guy took a photo of his lady with my painting encouraging her: "STAND ON HER!" Yes! I would like every woman to "stand on me" - stick to this place and think / say / shout "ENOUGH!" ✊

Most of the highly celebrated art is about discovering new or commenting on current pressing matters, but my art is about simple everyday willingness to live. I paint because this gives me purpose and joy – it’s like humming nice song for a hundredth time, even thou there were many covers before; preparing favorite drink for a friend and myself, to enjoy it again in a new glass perhaps; dressing up for no occasion, just to look and feel good; caressing a lover… I wish it was the same for recipients of my art – everyday pleasure in experiencing it. Like a book that you red many times, yet you still reach for it; dish that you always order in that place that is there forever... Repeatable, often classic topics; favorite color palette; small and big things that makes us want to live, even thou world can be such an ugly place. I want my art to make it better - even for a moment, even in a tiny way. I want it to remind myself and others that it's worth to try everyday...
