Wiktoria Cwityńska

In her work, she primarily uses oil painting, but intertwines it with sculpture, drawing, and artistic installations. Her practice focuses on building an intimate and individual dialogue between the viewer and the presented piece. Drawing and figurative painting serve primarily to convey her vision, but she also incorporates abstract elements and conceptual representations. She intertwines elements that are understandable to the viewer with an original narrative, encouraging a shift in perspective and independent engagement with the issues raised. Through her artistic approach, she comments not only on her immediate surroundings but also on social systems and divisions.

The fish, as a symbol of the poor relationship between humans and their environment, their own bodies, communication failures, and the misunderstandings that occur between organisms, becomes an intensively explored motif in her work. The artist explores issues at the intersection of ecofeminism, neurobiology, and the psychophysiology of vision, among others. Referencing the nostalgic and peculiar underwater world, she transfers its haptic experience to the fabric of painting.
