| Kasia Wrona |
| |
|
I was born in 1965 and grew up in Tychy, a town in an industrial region of Poland.
It was a happy childhood, I lived in a dream world, often filling my note books at school with surrealistic drawings. I've always painted and drawn, though fully developed my technique at the Academy of fine Arts in Krakow (Poland). After I made pen drawings for eight years which I still go back to yet I wanted to fulfill my artistic ambitions so ten years ago I moved to Portugal where all the colours and pure light has become evident in my paintings. I live completly immersed in a natural environment, paint and draw what is important to me.

| About the Artist |
Kasia Wrona: my ink drawings are complex, most defy description or explanation. They come to me during periods of prelonged emotional states of mind: sometimes suffering, sometimes struggling, sometimes joyous- leaving me in a calm, relaxed and meditative state of mind, yet being active. The paintings are charged with emotion and colour. The drawings are haunting and introspective.
My inspiration is predominently intuitive. My art helps me to explore.
Three recent works, the large, acrylic paintings, express the fear, panic and physical heat of a forest fire which swept through the land where I live. Other works reflect the natural elements, each lending the feelings that they impart. I use all my emotions when I express myself and passion is the driving force for my art. |
