About The Artwork

This is the painting from the series: “Tomorrow I will Sew Myself A new”", which is created in my own unique technique. 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. 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. In my works from this series I try to show female problems by using lapidary forms and schemes. They are more of body outlines, simplified forms and objects connected with femininity. This work was created on two monochromatic industrial fabrics put together. I kept distance between the two fabrics in form of a wooden painted frame 1 x 1 cm. Putting the fabrics away from each other causes the lower fabric, and my painting on it, to be more visible after applying the top layer. 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. The composition on both layers is repeated and the painted elements overlap. They emerge in a similar way from the backgrounds by partially over-painting the patterns of the background on both layers and delicate underlining of their forms with black contour. The places where the shoes are presented are minutely processed to and therefore the patterns on both fabrics are visible, they permeate and combine. Creating a brand new quality. In these places the patterns of the lower fabric are most visible. The prostheses are painted only on the lower layer. The forms are cut on the upper layer creating shapes of shoes. While looking at the work, it takes a moment to notice that it is not another painting presenting sexy shoes. They are partially hidden here (as in real life prostheses get hidden in under a layer of clothes), they are covered by a semi-transparent layer, which is to create an impression that there is some kind of mystery connected with elements of the painting. The canvas is artist quality stretched on high quality traditional timber stretchers. This painting requires no frame, the edges are painted and it's ready to hang in place. It will be shipped in a professionally constructed timber crate.

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.
