Maciej Bartosik- Biberstein
 
 
About the Artist

Strong, conscious of their power, lustful... Such portrait of women creates Maciej Bartosik-Biberstein in his paintings. As no one else, he believes in the myth of “Eternal Femininity”, a myth that was even refuted by Simone de Beauvoir in her worldwide known book “The Second Sex”. For painters, womanhood is almost always causative might – demonic and dangerous, yet an origin of everything which is beautiful in life. Maciej Bartosik-Biberstein drawings of Venuses have a great similarity to prehistoric goddesses. On paintings we can see trembling spots of color and dynamic sights. Sometimes Maciej Bartosik-Biberstein grabs a tube of paint and just marks outlines. On the picture of “The Warrior”, which came into existence accordingly to documental about Asian female wrestling, we can see a thick stream of red dye, flowing by a female thigh.

Erected swollen breasts, round bellies and vaginas are just some of the strong elements Maciej Bartosik-Biberstein brings in his paintings. At some moments the artist gets to that exact point of view. He takes away individual attributes, reduces shapes etc. He creates marks of femininity, his object of worship. He says: “Suffering and mutilation comes with triumph of conquering death and ruling the whole world. It is because the woman who rules the world. We must remember that.”
