ACT-identity hatching

by Malina Wieczorek · Pęcice Małe, PL

I have been creating female nudes for decades. For me as a painter, women's bodies give a greater palette to ponder about the truth of life. They touch on existential problems that affect us all. I am fascinated by the body reduced to a sign, an abstract form, which gives a huge field of imagination and searching for my own answers to the questions of what the painting really represents. Women are mothers, lovers, but also ephemeral saints or people following their own paths. Maybe because I am a woman myself, I give myself the right to some deformations and simplifications. Searching for what cannot be seen. It's a bit of an experience on its own. Women have been a source of discussion for centuries - what matters, soul or beauty? What is beauty really? Because everyone sees and understands it differently.
