ABOUT EXHIBITION

In the works of Natasha Mirak and Svitlana Ulka, female figures are the dominant form of artistic expression. They are the ones who help the viewer interpret the paintings more accurately.

Femininity in the works of these artists is multidimensional, sometimes only slightly outlined, sometimes to the point of intensity.
Femininity in their view is much more than that, as each painter's personal experience shines through the layers of paint. Their sensitivity and feeling is reflected on the canvas.

Natasha Mirak's female figures are confident, strong, expressive. They concentrate all the viewer's attention around them. They draw us into their worlds. Spectacular hairstyles, magnetic looks, impressive dresses are the artist's trademarks. It is worth taking a moment to notice the symbolism with which the painter's work is filled. It is also impossible not to appreciate the skillful juxtaposition of the past (18th and 19th century dresses) with the modern (smartphones, thermomix).

A different approach to the theme of femininity is taken by Svitlana Ulka, who mixes waking with dream in her paintings. She allows access and invites you to immerse yourself in dream-like scenes, in which, as we well know, anything can happen. Let yourself be guided through this oniric world, absorbing the tenderness and subtlety of the artist's paintings.

Femininity is a term understood broadly and ambiguously. For some it will be synonymous with tenderness, sensuality and gentleness, for others it will equate autonomy, decision-making and causality.
To show how capacious the definition of femininity is, how many shades and colors it has, at our exhibition we also present the works of Kamil Stańczak.

Kamil Stańczak characteristically combines the world of nature and femininity. The first becomes a vehicle for the second. A vehicle in the literal sense transportation, but also a vehicle for emotions. However one can sense harmony rather than hierarchy. This micro-cycle is also a story about a journey that becomes an end in itself.
