Invitation - Invite Me to Your World
People & Paintings Gallery
Invitation - Invite Me to Your World. I'm curious what your world looks like. I enjoy diversity of the world and it is from this diversity that I draw inspiration. The world is so incredibly diverse that I couldn't limit myself to just one subject. I paint flower meadows, Venetian masks, and most recently, I'm creating a new series called "Invitations," which has completely captivated me and in which I depict underappreciated fragments of our everyday lives, including building entrances and architectural details that we pass by indifferently. Although my paintings are thematically diverse, they all share one thing: a love of detail. I adore detail, and no matter what I paint, there are always details, even though I never think about them. It seems to be my trademark ;) This is what my world looks like, and what does yours look like? Do you have your own trademark? What connects all your works? A theme, a technique, a detail, or perhaps something else? What inspires your creative work? Invite me into your world. I'm very curious to see what it looks like. Aleksandra Ciążyńska

Moon
People & Paintings Gallery
What does Moon mean to you? When to find moon in the night sky, you might feel so happy and your heart pounds with joy as to find a treasure in a box. Moon makes our heart so warm and relaxing. Moon is always watching us whether brightly and visibly, or quietly from behind the clouds, no matter where we are. Moon is like a mother who is always caring her children. I believe we human and all creatures are protected by Moon. In this painting, I express my nostalgia with an autumn harvests (Japanese large chrysanthemums, Japanese silver grasses), nature (Moon, Mt. Iwaki in my hometown Aomori prefecture) and creatures (Dragon flies, a cat), which are shined by Moon. A cat looks up Moon, nostalgically thinking of her hometown in autumn. Submit your artwork related to your feeling, story or your thoughts over the moon. Describe what you mean by that to the viewers. I expect your work touches to the viewers who feel a heartwarming moment by your artwork.
