==Majka Kwiatowska (1949)==




Polish painter. Graduated from the Warsaw Fine
Arts Academy, she has also attended the Académie
des Beaux Arts in Paris on a scholarship.


The end of her studies was contemporaneous with
the outset of the events, which came to change the
whole political landscape of Eastern Europe. While
taking an active part in the Movement of
Independent Culture by organizing clandestine
exhibits and artistic events as well as the aid
for painters and sculptors, she have developed her
personal style: after a gray period, expressing
the atmosphere of these difficult years, subtle
colors later made their appearance – they filter
a secret light that captivates the spectator.
Her abstract painting further elaborate the
perspectives first explored by Mark Rothko. A
subtle force and emotional tension emanate from
her pieces; a veil darkening the soul enfolds
them, but an internal light prevails in the end. 


Majka Kwiatowska has been awarded various prizes,
notably the Polish Association for the Visual
Arts’ Gold Medal (1993).  Her paintings are
exhibited in the prestigious collections of The
Polish National Library in Warsaw, The Warsaw City
Hall and The Museum of the Warsaw Archdiocese.
They can be found in private collections all over
the world.


“Perhaps a poet could best express what is most
important in this work. I am not a poet, but I
would like to write a few words on this painting.
It has interested me for a long time; it is not an
easy world. Apparently, it does not contain much.
But it does palpitate with a clear, strong life…
This beautiful painting possesses both force and
delicacy. It holds the artist’s internal
dialogue with herself and also a kind of revolt…
The exceptional faculty to tie elements together
characterizes these paintings. Links appear as if
involuntarily, as if by chance. I know what this
hides. To attain such an effect, one must go
through hundreds of attempts – one must paint
and paint again reaching for a particular state
when every-thing begins to slowly ripen, order
itself, adjust to the artist, becomes clear,
evident.”

 -- Academy of Fine Arts Prof. Jacek Sienicki
(1999)
