About Me - Kasia Turajczyk

Welcome. Bienvenue. Benvenuto. Willkommen. Witam. Bienvenido. Welkom. 

 
My name is Kasia B. Turajczyk. I am a painter (artist-painter), a writer and a poet. 

I began drawing and painting as a child, and it became a part of my everyday life.

From an early age, I was a rebel; I had problems understanding humans and their actions. That was probably why I escaped into the Fantasy World. These days I am more relaxed and reconciled with the humans and their world. I don't always like what I see, and I still think that humans are bizarre creatures. However, I have my own world within my brain and soul. It keeps me going.

This would be my second art blog; the third one is on my new website. The first one, the old one, has been hacked and totally destroyed. Why? I don't have a clue. Why would someone want to hack an art blog with a handful of readers a month? It is a mystery to me, and a tragedy, considering all my efforts and writing.

Blogger is very difficult to hack, I sincerely hope so!

Here is the address to my new blog on my website:  https://kasiaturajczyk.art/blog

The Loony Bin Of Life

My devotion to Pinocchio is not a secret. I have always loved the character from the book by Carlo Collodi. I loved Disney's Pinocchio, I love the Russian Pinocchio, and I love my two Pinocchio toys. They have travelled with me around the world; they are ancient and wise. Made in Russia, they came from Russia to me. They are old, probably 50 and 45 years old. They are ageing. One of them has lost his hair and, unfortunately, his nose. Since I was introduced to Pinocchio's character, I have always been painting and drawing this wonderful marionette. Pinocchio willy-nilly was becoming a hero of my work. My first portrait of Pinocchio was an oil on canvas, very expressionistic, with fat, large strokes of brush paint. It is a dark painting. The next was lighter, brighter, finer, with the spell of impressionistic touch. The series Return of Peter Pan also has a Pinocchio theme. Two brothers sitting close to each other and talking. A few years ago, I made another painting with Pinocc...

My Brain - abstract collage/painting.

I like this painting. In my humble opinion, "My brain" from the Brain Series is an exciting, original and uneasy work. Everything about making it was unusual. I painted/collaged it on the grass in front of my studio and worked long hours without getting tired. My brain was making/helping with creating it. 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.

Non est tuum, fortuna quod fecit tuum

Count not that as yours which fortune has made yours.   For Niels Bohr   If I were born like you in cold Denmark In the year 1885, (Nota Bene - Not really a special year,  Except that Burma became British) Would I have discovered the atom like you did? The connection you established between the quantum theory of Planck  and the atomic theory of Thomson and Rutherford? Or would I have wandered through the streets of Cambridge, In my mind, the verses of Morris From The Life and Death of Jason "Dreamer of dreams, born out of due time, Why should I strive to set the crooked straight?" How would I find the Victorian Empire, the height of hypocrisy, The death of Oscar Wilde, the tales from your fellow countryman? What would I do in that most inspiring period at the beginning of the XX century? The development of electricity, the cinema, the automobile, the telephone. But also the First World War and, later on, World War II. Di...
