Joanna Klepadło

I deal with drawing, painting and graphic art, and my main source of inspiration is nature, in particular the world of plants. My works are both realistic drawings of plants, landscape and abstract painting works, as well as graphic works combining the world of abstract textures with the world of plants. I work in pencil and ink drawing techniques, acrylic painting and gravure printing (aquatint, etching). My images of plants are often free interpretations of forms found in nature, through which I express human emotional states. I also create realistic portraits of plants, as exemplified by the works from my latest series presenting plants in Spanish Andalusia. As an artist, I want to arouse people's interest in the world of nature and make them notice and appreciate the potential of plants, which will contribute to care for the natural environment.
