Lives and works in Krakow.

 

Paulina Stasik is a painter. Her sophisticated and multi-layered images exude an extraordinary, erotic aura and spiritual strength. The characteristic color range and modeling are the results of a precise and time-consuming painting process, successively applying multiple glaze layers of paint. Stasik is interested in the body as a carrier of spiritual, sexual, and cultural energy, but free from the binary perspective. The artist smoothly guides her protagonists between the real and the symbolic world, between life and timelessness, ecstasy, elation, delight and lethargy, sleep and silence. These images form a kind of renewed, matriarchal mythology, the key qualities of which are body awareness, compassion, and empathetic relationships.
