About The Artwork

This is painting from the series "Tomorrow i will sew myself Anew". In the paintings from these series 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. Nowadays, the real human body and identity is a disjointed conglomerate of elements. The flood of images promoted by the media shows a woman’s face and body in pieces, which illustrates how women should think about their bodies according to the myth of beauty. There is a command to fragment the body, breaking the existing integrity of our corporeality as it is the only way to radical transformation, interference in its structure. Women become addicted to plastic surgeries. Neither the cost, nor the pain and risk of side effects weaken their desire to create a “better versions” of self. I created the painting on two juxtaposed fabrics in pastel colours with the imprint of abstract patterns of irregular patches. 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. I used the repetitive pattern of stains on the fabric suggesting the shape of a corset to create the forms of women-dolls in this places. Painting over the patchy patterns of the fabric in the background and outlining with white dashed line all the elements creating the dolls I enhanced from the background forms of female figures in dresses. The women are constructed like paper dolls, they have defragmented bodies and the places where incomplete elements of limbs connect are clearly visible. Two out of four dolls have no heads. The drawing of dashed lines suggests sewing and refers to plastic surgeries. Irregularly, on the whole upper layer of the painting bright linear lace patterns connect and complete each other with the decorative patterns painted on the lower level. I wanted the whole to make an impression of something unspoken, enshrouded in the aura of mystery.

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.
