Monika Bartkowiak - Zawadzka

A female artist whose paintings are forceful. The motifs of her works express the fascination for the beauty of movement and nature. Depth, mystery and surrealism can be discovered in them. The versatility of techniques, the boldness of colour, the power of emotion, which are the main effects on the paintings, become apparent in her work.
 
She discovered her love for art at a young age, having held her first exhibition of works at the age of 15.  However, she focused her professional life around business. It was only in her mature age that she returned to her childhood passion and rediscovered her talent. She says of herself that she is an investment and that the greatest is yet to come. She feels she is at the start of a new journey with a huge creative appetite.
 
Stories told with colour, emotions expressed with a wide range of shades. The combination of bold and vivid tones with subtle and balanced accents gives extraordinary depth and brings the artist's paintings into a vivid artistic dimension. Every movement on the canvas is deliberate, the colours interact to delight and invite viewers to connect with their own innermost emotions.
 
In addition to her handling of strong colours, the artist focuses her attention on detail, texture and the technique of layering to create the effect of space and the crossing of dimensions.
This is a conscious and deliberate approach to the work, creating a combination of the realism behind the motif and the surrealism in the colours. The canvas becomes alive through these colours, transcending our cognitive dimension, becoming absolutely by enclosing the dynamism of movement in a time capsule.
 
The artist's works have been exhibited in gallerie and they gain recognition among artists and art collectors. The artist's paintings can be found in private collections in Poland and abroad.
