Geometric abstractions by Polish painter Malwina Puszcz
Hello Malwina, who are you?
I’m a self taught artist from Poland.
What can you tell us about your art?
I create energetic, colourful geometric abstractions on canvas. My inspiration comes from the artistic movment of geometric abstraction, especially hard edge painting, established in the 1950s and 1960s in Los Angeles. They created their own, impersonal painting style, based on covering canvas with large areas of colors, which contrast boldly and sharply with each other. Their goal was to throw the content aside and concentrace fully on the form. I hold dear this approach to paint.
How does this reflect in your personal style?
The colourful areas in my paintings are shaped into different geometric figures, mostly into triangles. This particular shape has a wide energetic potential, because depending on the angle of flare or the side lenghts, it may be seen as static or dynamic. Each of my paintings is unique, I never use the same composition or timbre. The result is, that all of my paintings make a coherent whole, whereas they differ from each other at the same time. I put the emphasis on the purity of colours, as well as on the precision of workmanship. I do my best to make my paintings look tasteful and to give as much joy to their owners as I feel during the process of creation.
What message do you want to transmit to the audience?
Nowadays, we are surrounded by loads of information, opinions and stories. Using my paintings, I want to show something to my audience and share my sensitivity with them rather than give a message. The color, the timbre is what fascinates me the most and plays the key role in my paintings.
What do you think about ‘being an artist’?
I’m not sure I can call myself “an artist”, I’m thinking about myself as “a painter”.
Is there anything you’d like to say?
Just have a nice day!
