Description

The painting depicts an arrangement of flowers in a vase, though the portrayal diverges from realism with its enlarged, scaled, and simplified elements. The flowers, rendered in shades of pink and purple, dominate the composition, showcasing a mix of irises, cosmoses, asters, and verbena. These blooms, though oversized and stylized, convey a sense of casual elegance as they protrude from a purple, patterned vase.

Adding to the surreal quality of the scene, some of the flowers are delineated only by a white contour, imparting a ghostly, ethereal quality that enhances the overall lightness of the composition. Against a dark background, the top portion of the painting features a brown mosaic reminiscent of wainscoting, while the lower section is filled with a deep navy blue, creating a striking contrast that accentuates the vibrancy of the flowers. Overall, the painting exudes a dreamlike ambiance, inviting viewers to revel in its whimsical interpretation of floral beauty.

Meet the artist

I studied design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow though I really wanted to either study painting, or goat and sheep breeding. I obeyed the advice given and followed what was deemed to be the wiser and more conventional path, though this was short-lived as I quickly returned to nature and painting.

My paintings draw from the world of plants and animals. I am inspired by these worlds, I like to transform them, simplify them, change their colors and add meaning to them. I enjoy the huge bouquets bursting from the vases. I am fascinated by the hare’s crazy eyes that are following me in the studio.

I use various media in Canary Yellow Mallow Vases. Often the base is acrylic paints. Based on this, I start using contrasts. Thick and thin lines as well as spots and smooth color transitions argue for their place. My works are full of colors, shapes, lines, spots, thick lines and patterns.

Based on the description, they could be accused of chaos and disharmony, but this is not the case. The compositions are mostly static, hieratic, central, even if they use asymmetry, they maintain balance. Every rebellion has its own framework here – a framework within which it is fulfilled.
