“Emotions accompany me throughout the entire creation process”

Luiza Poreda, 20 November 2020

Hanna Kłopotowska is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź (Faculty of Graphics and Painting) and the British university The Nottingham Trent University (EMBA diploma). The artist deals with painting and drawing on a daily basis. Motifs such as a woman’s face and her body are the starting point for her to create a symbolic aesthetic message. Trying to penetrate the world that surrounds her, in simple situations, looks and gestures, she tries to capture its intimacy and mystery. As he says, she pours a woman’s soul onto canvas and paper.

Dynamic expression of light and color

As Hanna Kłopotowska says, the image of a woman is “an inexhaustible abundance of great variety: all beauty, wisdom, strength and gentleness, energy and peace, modern thought and philosophical reflection, frivolity and seriousness”. In a word, full humanity.

– Human has always been my main inspiration. By painting, I try to capture its physical and spiritual beauty. I paint women more often, theirs emotions and character. They are very close to me because I experience the same emotions every day. I paint women in strong, energizing colors, and I express my emotions with a dynamic expression of light and color. I try to keep the contrasts, saturation and colorful chiaroscuro in harmony in order to give them the most positive expression in the final message – says Hanna Kłopotowska.

As the artist says, these contrasting and saturated colors also reflect its character.

– I try to focus on the positive aspects of what happens to me. I also want the contrast of colors in my paintings to emphasize emotions and moods expressed by facial expressions or gestures that appear involuntarily in various life situations. In addition, I believe that such a combination and intensity of colors gave the interiors where my works will hang, joy and positive energy – he explains.

The painter wants her works to infect viewers with positive energy. These are works that are supposed to make you happy, and even “sometimes a bit militant”. They are to illuminate the place where they are and show the emotional charge that accompanies their formation.

– Each work is an individual and unique story – mine, the painted person and the viewer. Emotions accompany me throughout the entire process of creating, they are changeable, they can be very different: from crazy excitement when the vision arises in my head and the brush has not yet touched the canvas, to the emotions of uncertainty, curiosity and the joy of creating a new life for a painting, when work consumes the rest of me until the picture is created, which with its new life begins to create my new emotions as a viewer – says Hanna Kłopotowska.

The artist explains that she always cares about the specific final effect of the work, she is not fully satisfied with the results for a long time. For this reason, he works for a long time on each painting, and he receives emotional support in the creative process from his loved ones, on whom he can count on in such moments.

– When I decide that the work is ready and I like it, then I feel the joy that I want to share – says the artist in an interview with Art in House.
