Marzena Hettich-Uryszek

Marzena Hettich-Uryszek.
Graduate of the Faculty of Painting and Sculpture at the Wrocław Academy of Fine Arts. She obtained her diploma, supplemented by a sculpture annex, in the painting studio of Professor Krzysztof Skarbek.
He lives and works in Poland and Germany. In addition to her artistic activity, she taught art subjects for years.
Her work is parallel: painting and sculpture, mostly ceramic, also willingly combines both to create the so-called interdisciplinary art. It is close to her belief that form determines content. The artist appreciates classical painting and uses other creative techniques. He likes to pick up a collage. The collage is, on the one hand, an opportunity to use various by-products of civilizational development (cigar rings), and on the other hand, an opportunity to recontextualize them, which is an expression of the artist’s inter-cultural and inter-textual research. The cycle of work created using this technique can be described as cultural recycling.

,,Marzena Hettich-Uryszek presents the direction of development of her own personal research. Drawing and colour seem to dominate the forms of visual expression in her compositions. They create harmonious instruments together with great effects and rich, changing shapes. They provide an opportunity to present interesting phenomena, bringing out colorful visual impressions. By combining in a creative way the elements of chance that consciously constructing painting matter, the artist gives her picture a suggestive and unique power. They also seem to come from the analysis of atypical phenomena in an ever-changing popular culture that organizes its own mythologies. Prof. Krzysztof Skarbek,,

The focus is on the human being and his different emotional states. A reflection of these interests in the artistic output are - first of all - vivid and decisive colours. Secondly, the strong presence of the portrait. The latter seems to suggest references to the tradition of figurative painting, but the artist does not shy away from choosing in the direction of abstraction.
In sculpture, she specializes in intimate sculptural forms and bas-reliefs, most often created in ceramics. It also has bronze designs on its corner.
The material in which she creates imposes her artistic form. Her creative work is inspired by man and nature. Sculptures are a pretext for painting, which allows her to combine her work with the trend of so-called hybrid art.
Evoking the beauty and perfect proportions of classical sculptures, he simultaneously reinterprets and modernizes them. It highlights the imperfections of human nature through cracks and deliberate damage to the surface of the sculpture. As she says, I would like my characters to have a soul in addition to a beautiful body.
In his sculptures, striving for the ideal of classic beauty, although tarnished by a defect, you can find your own weaknesses or difficulties of everyday life.
These blemishes and stains are - to quote the author - really signs of fragility, it is a story of human transience and existence. These are our scars that cause suffering, but at the same time give us strength, nobility and beauty.
