Creature

I've noticed that my paintings are arranged in a train of thought, and often their meanings follow from one to next and together forming a story. It is easiest to me to start from few words about "Masks", it was about that sometimes we pretend something in front of ourself, and about that it is healthy to check what is under our private mask which we wear looking into mirror. Sometimes it is good to look at that part of ourselves, which we do not fully accept, the ugly part of us. Painting "Yellow Eyes" is like a shutter, when we look in the mirror, just before removing the mask. When you see your inner monster, what could you do with it? I'm not an idealist, so I think we can only change its shape, but the monster deep inside us will always be there. We can not delete it. So there are two choices: ignore the monster, or tame it at least a little bit. I took away a bit of the seriousness from my monster.

Zauważyłam, że moje obrazy układają się w ciąg myślowy i często ich znaczenia wynikają z siebie nawzajem i układają się w historię. Pisząc o „Creature” najłatwiej mi zacząć od obrazu „Maski”, był on o tym, że czasem coś udajemy przed samym sobą i że czasem zdrowo jest zajrzeć pod maskę, którą zakładamy patrząc w lustro. Czasem dobrze jest spojrzeć na tą część nas samych której w sobie nie do końca akceptujemy, na tą brzydką część nas. Obraz „Yellow eyes” jest jakby migawką, kiedy patrzymy w to lustro, tuż przed zdjęciem maski. Gdy już zobaczymy naszego wewnętrznego potwora, to co można z tym zrobić? Nie jestem idealistką, więc uważam, że możemy jedynie zmieniać jego kształt, ale potwór tam w głębi nas zawsze tam będzie. Pozbyć się go nie możemy. Tak więc pozostają dwa wyjścia: ignorowanie potwora, lub oswojenie go choć trochę. Ja zabrałam trochę powagi mojemu potworowi.

Secret mask

„Secret mask” oil on canvas 100/80cm 39,5/31,5 inch

Secret Mask.

Wearing masks is quite natural and common, they are indispensable in relationships with other people. Contacts with others in groups are easier when we use them. When we look on other people we use stereotypes, because it is impossible to know truth about every particular person we met. That's why we use simplifications when we connect with others. We also create masks to show how we want people see us, and what we want they know about us. But sometimes, we lost ourselves and start pretend in front of ourselves, refusing to accept something unpleasant. Sometimes we spent really lot of time and effort to hide something about us from ourselves, or to see in us something, which clearly isn't there. This is also not so bad mechanism like it sounds, this is our self-defence. BUT It is healthy, when we once for some time check, what is under our secret mask.

  Paolo Uccello's painting "Fight St. George and the Dragon " was an inspiration to my work. I saw it accidentally and immediately it hypnotized me. It got stuck somewhere in my head for a long time. I wasn't thinking about St.George but about girl with a dragon showed there. I realised that calm,self-controlled, beautifull girl and beast are somehow one character, that these are two sides of one person, showed separately. Then I strated to paint.
