CONTEMPORARY ART REVIEW
Marta Sieczak
The base and the most important input is very instinctive. I collect thoughts, observations, analysis, and ideas, and in some moment the visual transposition is coming. This is the point where everything starts to be clear. Afterwards I work more methodical – do the research, try different options for composition and colors, and then finally prepare the canvas and paint. PLACES are much different than the previous cycles(" Maps " and " Diseases "), which were more abstract visually and simplier in the idea. The style is still evolving and I ' m happy about it. painting and interpretate it personally, whether find one path to follow or many different ways. I ' m very happy when the invitation is accepted, cause it puts apart presentation and starts the communication. I ' m always keen to hear the feedback- I ' m curious how audience did read my message. But it ' s not a quiz nor anything like this. It ' s just very inspiring to hear someone ' s interpretation. However, I don ' t think it determines how I use the language- I tailor it due to particular painting, not particular audience.
I ' m very happy you ' ve noticed the issue of the direct involvement, which is pretty important to me. This is something I ' m trying to get from the performing arts. Already mentioned set of thoughts makes an open invitation for viewers, to get more into each
I started thinking about new cycle of paintings- I ' m at the first step, so collecting ideas. I have to admit our conversation brought me new motivation for work – thank you very much for it. Now I need to use it! I have also some plans for theatrical project, connected to shadow puppet theatre – still in very early stage of development. As for the future I just want to keep working multidisciplinary- and keep travelling. Thank you very much for this very interesting and though-provoking conversation.
