  • The young painter's "nasty children" and "fantastic animals" invade the canvas with their morbid figures and jarring symbolism as she creates a new Gothic style that meshes surrealist imagery, medieval mystery, fairy tale themes and references to the likes of Hieronim Bosch and Francisco de Goya.
    Her early works were inspired by the Quattrocenta style characteristic of the work of Piero Della Francesa, Masaccio and Giotto. Of greatest interest was the role of colour and mood, and the way these 14th-century masters applied paint to the canvas. These inspirations were combined with themes that wove throughout modern art and contemporary art history, as well as the immediate world around her. In her 2000 work Three Graces, an iconic painting of the Madonna is paired with a television set. For Waliszewska, the composition of the image is of principal importance. She also cites the works of Polish graphic artists from the 16th century: Tomasz Treter (1547-1610) and Jan Ziarnko (1575-1628) as greatly inspiring for a number of her works. One of her ambitions is to create a publication that would juxtapose their works with her own, illustrating the threads that connect them.
    Moreover, in her paintings one can recognise compositions similar to those from Paolo Uccello's frescoes in the cloisters of the Santa Maria Novella church in Florence, or the atmosphere of Vermeer's interiors and even the mystical unrest of Giorgio de Chirico's works. Waliszewska's tasteful and aesthetic canvases brought recognition and first exhibition proposals even during her studies.
    Her technique varies from a childlike nonchalance to detailed precision in her depictions of uncanny scenes of battling beasts, children lost in the woods, skulls and skeletons, portraits of faces with missing features or exposed musculature. A lone baby elephant would be sweet if not for the unnervingly evil expression on its face. Her works are unpleasant, often obscene, yet there is something magical about them that draws the viewer in and holds tight. She draws on a shared magazine of popular symbols from horror films, comic books, heavy metal and current events.
    Waliszewska's works also inspire other artists across genres - most recently Greek film director Athina Rachel Tsangari, known for the award-winning independent film Attenberg (2010) made a film inspired by a series of drawings by Waliszewska. The Capsule was produced in 2012, along with an art installation, as a commission for the DesteFashionCollection 2012, sponsored by art collector Dakis Joannou. Immaculately filmed, with an enigmatic storyline, the production treads the fine line between art and arthouse cinema.

    I love how her art is comprised of surreal, horrifying paintings of scenes which feel as though they were birthed from the deepest recesses of the subconscious, glimpses deeply repressed, violent desires, Images from traumatic childhood nightmares thought long forgotten, or just imagery that actively rejects any futile attempt to be ascribed meaning, lore, or explanation to their discomforting dread-filled subjects…
    …and then there’s this painting at 4:50 where a cute cartoon pigeon jams out on the saxophone to a chill cat.

    A lot of these paintings are creepy, some are funny and amusing, but all of them are bizarre. She's a very creative artist.

    Es terrible todo lo que está mujer está comunicando con sus pinturas, realmente repugnante y revelador. El mundo del ocultismo se muestra en muchas obras de arte como en las obras de Goya, el greco, da Vinci algunos de los más sonados pero hay muchos más.

    Beautiful work, some Polish artists seem to get especially dark. I wonder why? This channel's a gold mine!

    Woodcut as mark on time. Primotalia brush as subconscience that knows what viewers may deny knowing, and come to sustainment sees. Verging primativeas as provocitour.
