Ewelina Skowronska’s painting is art that undoubtedly derives from the experience of one’s own gender. It is a skillfully conducted, mature artistic statement that does not lose the essential element of femininity. The latest series presented at the exhibition is strongly related to the concept of organic abstraction, which stems from earlier theoretical assumptions focused on the corporeality. The artist reaches for the language of abstraction, using the aesthetics of a body fragment subjected to a strong synthesis. Nature, which is definitely an inspiration for this series, is used as template for shapes. Same as the female body, it becomes a source for synthetic forms. Multiplied fragments are reproduced not only within a specific work, but also within the entire series, creating a coherent, sensual and ephemeral painterly reflection, already initiated in earlier realizations. The form itself is extremely important here. The evolution of created shapes is directly related to the subject of corporeality, its place and the role it plays in everyday life.
