Krzysztofa Zwierz-Ciok

I live and create in The United States, San Francisco Bay Area.

In one term I descibe my Artwork as Essentialism.

My paintings are an interpretation of the world that surrounds me.
The motif I use for my paintings can be of any realistic subject.
My first draft applied is always a representational image.
Next I work on changing, eliminating parts, elements and details, searching for right Proportions of an image.
During the process the paint is drying creating texture, that gives me a feeling of a three- dimensional nature in the image and this satisfies me.
In fact I sometimes apply other materials to receive more defined textures.
Composition of color and shape is the key to my painting. It is very important For me to have a very clear and almost mathematically organized image.
I synthesize my paintings creating one or more focal points.
When composing I prefer to deform reality. Deformation fascinates me.
I work on my paintings to the moment when they are logical and consequentially complete.
