The memory of Crete III Painting

In painting I do not reflect the afore-seen reality, but I draw from it what inspires me and provokes to paint a picture. I transform the reality in my imagination in order to be able to create some atmosphere on canvas, tell a story which would evoke emotions in me and the recipient. I am at all times inspired by something new, therefore I reach out to find different forms of expression Owing to this, my paintings are varied and each viewer may find among them something to relate directly to themselves. I am practis painting, drawing and related techniques. ABOUT MY LANSCAPES: „Magda pursues mature painting of expressionistic shade, highly personal, at the same time deliberately remaining in line with tradition. The theme of landscape provides a way of expression and assumes a certain attitude to life.” “I have the impression that Magda Nałęcz reaches out to the essence in landscape painting tradition, making an attempt to achieve theological dimension of the landscape where on the apparently meagre ground she finds a place for God and the human being. The richness of the applied painting measures and excellent control of techniques enhances Magda's painting, sounding exactly in tune with the themes. The artist consciously applies her own rule which corrects the initial affection and makes it truly serious.” Sławomir Karpowicz ABOUT MY STILL LIFE: Magical realism in my paintings. I collate objects on the surface of my canvasses, so that the expression would be metaphysical, and not only an aesthetic one. I paint the objects not necessarily on account of their aesthetic form or beauty. I do not paint them for themselves alone. In my paintings, I am trying to transform the everyday life into an intriguing story. The world in my paintings is based on what is natural and within the boundaries of what is known to us, while exceeding, at the same time, the limits of reality. I am still seeking, trying to invest the presented subjects with some deeper significance.
