I stopped painting and sculpting after my visit to Louvre. What’s the point? I thought, the perfection has been already achieved.
But even Rodin and Michal Angelo, I concluded, could only reflect what they had in the head and heart. They could not see the world the way I see it; no one can reflect my emotions. So I have found the place for myself anew and I never left the art again.
This attitude placed my work in many Canadian, Polish and US galleries. I feel a surge of elation every time someone buys my work for a private home, and this has become surprisingly common through sites like , but it is the daily experience of meeting people in my studio and gallery in Kailua, Hawaii that maintains my desire to work.
I made a long series of bronze humanoid sculptures, painted portraits and fired clay abstracts. In my view, the choice of material is secondary, it is merely in the service of reaching the viewer, projecting to him or her my joy, pain or anger.

Ania Modzelewski’ is a versatile and prolific artist. Her work ranges from classic paintings and sculptures to contemporary creations. She uses clay, bronze, plaster and resin in her sculptures and mixed media in paintings.
Ania spent many summers in Pietrasanta, Italy improving her skills under the direction of Bruno and Paul Lucchesi. Her later studies with California based sculptor Richard MacDonald further reinforced her love of transforming clay into sensuous human bodies. Somehow Ania finds a close connection between humans and animals that is well expressed in her latest series “ Legends, Stories and Believes.”. She carefully choses models for her sculptures that can best represent the story, she intends to tell.
Her approach to paintings is different. That’s when she allows herself “ to go wild”, letting the colors and her brush strokes awake the imagination of a viewer. “

Her work can be seen in galleries and homes in Europe, Canada, Slovakia, Poland, Brazil and the USA.
