About Me

..so... i live in Dublin and paint as much as possible. work 9 to 5, read, drink tea. any kind. love red wine too. ruby colour.all the colours. i am water.
thats what others say about me: Iwona is a Polish artist living in Dublin.
Her background is in Social Science, but her real passion has always been painting and drawing.
During her studies she was always fascinated by the Jungian archetypes, the ideas of Platon, as well as the mythology of Greece and Rome. Her thesis centred on the study of the symbolism evident in the tattoos of many different cultures through the centuries.This interest in symbolism can be seen in her art, as well as the influences of tribal art. Other influences include Gaudi, which we see the plasticity of her paintings, the use of colour could be said to stem from Matisse, and the pulling apart of personality elements could be seen as a product of both her interest in Jung as well as influences from the art of Picasso.
Despite the joie de vivre that pours out of her works, there is a tapping into of a deep emotion, anxiety, or insecurity in such a raw, naked, and honest way that one can’t help but be swept along by the emotion in a sort of cathartic wave.
Her young art is full of colours, passion, enthusiasm, innocence, exuberance, and with a poignancy that will leave a lasting impression.

A Polish artist living in Dublin, Iwona has a fascination with the Jungian archetypes, the ideas of Platon and the mythology of Greece and Rome. Symbolism, as materializes in tattoos and influences of tribal-art is detectable throughout Iwona’s range of work. Gaudi’s plasticity and Matisse’s use of colour are but two other influences evident in this artist’s work.
