About The Artwork
My favourite medium is oil on large canvas. My dream is to produce the 'massive paintings' which will strike the observers hearts and minds. The inspiration for this collection was the modern phenomenon which has taken place with the rise of the digital camera, the ‘selfie’. The aim of this artwork was to underline how we are obsessed about digital media and the kind of possibilities we have by the availability and the limitless number of images we can capture using the digital camera. We can then choose the one we would like to present on social media. These possibilities give use the opportunity to deceive the reality, with the desire for beauty making people mask or edit their faces or body. The paintings part of the ‘selfie’ collection is within context yet are an exaggerated account of selfie photos, they are painted to show the extreme aspects of selfie taking. As some people are ready to do everything for an ‘exciting’ selfie photo; show a naked body or climb up a skyscraper. The bold colours and strong contrasting lines emphasise this and bring a personal and specific character to the paintings.

Poland
My name is Agnieszka Alpin and I am a Polish artist and an interior designer based in Krakow. I have showed an interest and a passion for painting and interior design from a young age. I have started to practise art seriously 10 years ago when I understood it is something I cannot live without. I found myself by using oil paints on large canvases where I create the specific brush strokes. I try to compromise organic and geometrical forms together. It reflects my dynamic and lively personality. Most of the time I paint architecture, travels and people - that's what I am the most passionate about. ‘Travelling allows me to understand everything that is alien. My experience from travelling is depicted in my pictures. They present a colourful world mostly focussed on architecture and human body.’ Personally, travelling allows me to relax, unwind and take a break from the fast-paced lives we currently live. I love to walk around places of outstanding beauty and observe everything in a different way. My favourite artists who inspire me are Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse and Joan Miró.
