Kasia Turajczyk - Much Ado About My Art

  Malfunction of Dominance  Mixed media: oil and  acrylic For sale on my website  This vibrant mixed-media artwork, rendered in oil and acrylics, is a deeply personal and visceral expression of my disillusioned outlook on the current state of humanity and the world. The work is richly textured, with tactile qualities and a dynamic interplay of colours that reflect a sense of unease and the conviction that immediate improvement is unlikely.

It has been made from old CDs, wires, pieces of wood, plastics, old seeds, screws, nails, nuts, and probably many other things I have forgotten. Here is my brain talking to the world. I made a conscious effort to maintain a high level of spirit and energy while working on it. It is a giant canvas, measuring 150 x 130 cm.  I am an empath, and my brain is very often bleeding when watching, reading and seeing the reality, inequality, unfairness, climate disaster, and the extinction of animals and plant species. It is not an optimistic image. That is why my brain was bleeding and still is.
