Katarzyna Wasilewska

The irresistible need for artistic activity and the love for art existed in my life from an early age. My strong creative imperative is born from the need for non-verbal communication with the recipient. I want the viewer not to remain indifferent to my art. My goal is to activate the audience - I want my works to have an impact, to engage, sometimes to worry, and at other times to give a moment of respite – in short, to arouse emotions. My art is also intended to provide space for reflection and contemplation and encourage contact with our inner world, very often with carefully hidden emotions.
Art is the result of my sensitive and insightful observation of the world around us. Another important aspect for me is the analysis of interpersonal relationships and their impact on an individual - this is one of the foundations of my work.
I get satisfaction not only from the creative process itself and its result, but also from those moments when my works move others and resonate with them. The most beautiful moments are those when I can talk to my audience about my work and get more knowledge about them, what they felt, what they thought. Thanks to this, I can learn more about my viewers.
Art is a kind of conversation with the world...

Katarzyna Wasilewska (born in 1976 in Poland) - graduated of the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź, Poland, member of Association of Polish Visual Artists. She graduated in 2015 with a diploma in Painting and Drawing at the Faculty of Graphics and Painting. The studies allowed for deepening knowledge and an artistic experience and inspired her further exploration and development. She deals mainly with painting and collage. In her work, she explores the world of nature and the inner world of man.
"Beyond Words" and "Ether of Life" are the two most important painting cycles by Katarzyna Wasilewska. The paintings from the "Beyond Words" cycle are based primarily on the motifs of a mask and a chessboard. The works in this series are related to theater, acting and characterization, which are often reflected in reality and interpersonal relationships. The "Ether of Life" cycle is built using the allegory of butterfly wings. The works are intended to encourage the viewer to reflect on the sensitivity and ephemerality of our lives.
Katarzyna Wasilewska's works are in private collections in Poland and abroad. Paintings from the "Ether of Life" series are, among others, in a private collection in Los Angeles.
