Katarzyna Zarzycka is London based contemporary artist with Polish nationality. Works mainly in acrylic and oil paints. She has studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, Poland, finishing with bachelors degree. She chose Optical Arts as her diploma subject, what pushed her interests towards visual perception and deepened her curiosity in science. She puts together her love for art, interests in science and human mind. Her art is not obvious and it can appeal to the beholder in many different ways, creating very new, unique vision. She is passionate about psychology, what you can observe in her works, very often making reference to life, human mortality, population and it’s decisions, people blindly following one another, worlds events. She rally around social behaviours. Her art can be cynical, harsh, irreverent and surreal. In her works she envision a portrait alike figures within abstract, surreal or pop art elements, often trying to confront different styles, like in eclecticism. Sometimes she puts two contradictory subjects together. Zarzycka often uses vivid colours in her works. She works gradually on her paintings, layering paint thinly, often changing direction while creating.
