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. The surface, alive with tactile brushstrokes and layers, embodies the weight of my feeling, suggesting a future where solutions remain elusive. The central piece, a prominent male tie, serves as a potent and intriguing symbol of perceived male dominance and its inherent flaws. The tie is black-based with spattered blue hues, added by me using alcohol ink. I integrated the tie into the composition. It might serve as a powerful motif, representing male dominance and its perceived shortcomings. This adds my deeply personal and critica...

Three weeks before last Christmas - December 2013 - I was in one of my thousands of melancholic moods. I was brooding about the human condition, especially about the inanity and foolishness of my species. I went to my studio, picked up a small canvas, some acrylic and oil paints, and in no time a new painting was born. To be or not to be - a short story of the tragic life of a freak. The little cripple is very unfortunate - he has only one hand,  weird asymmetric eyes, he is not handsome and in addition he is also very lonely. The whole group of very diverse puppets and toys do not accept him. I like him,  but he is not satisfied with my company. In desperation he decides to go on stage, pretends to commit suicide and in front of the other puppets he asks: To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them. detail - To ...

 My new work from the Cats&Co series. Sub-series is about Cats&China.  € 540 / GBP 480 Size: 41 cm x 31 cm I borrowed the motive from an ancient Chinese print. Unfortunately, I don't know the artist. I assume the painting illustrated the tale about the emperor and the little nightingale. I preferred the piglet. Pigs are intelligent animals and funny. Using acrylics, gouache, coloured pencils and pens. The cats are adorable, and the piglet is cute.  The painting is for sale. There is also a possibility to order a print of the original image. Please, contact me if you want to buy my work or the print. 

Devotion                 discipline discipline routine The most important thing: devotion, discipline, and routine - to become a well-known artist. Or maybe an artist who will make enough money from selling her/his art every month and survive the harsh reality of our life.  It is about working every day, making small steps to go where you want to be. The process is more important than the end achievement. And be active on social media with regularity - it is also a necessity, and it is not easy for me to be consequent in posting on Instagram, Facebook, X and all these other social media.   The questions are, for me and a lot of other artists.   What steps are necessary to become a well-known artist?  How can one survive as an artist in the harsh reality of life?  How can one stay consistent in posting on social media? What steps are necessary to become a well-known artist?  I am working on it; I will let you...

Title: still needs to decide.  Mémoires from the East part of #Scotland . A beautiful valley - forgotten by humans. Just an old chapel and a dying graveyard. Hmm... can actually a place who supposed to bury dead bodies be dying? Philosophical question.  I wanted to achieve a semi-abstract effect. Some parts of the work had to be as representative of the style as possible in not typical realistic painting. And some features had to be expressive-abstraction.  I am happy with the result. I will make another painting with the same image but less figurative and paint it on a bigger canvas with oil.  This painting is for sale, and the price could be discussed with the person who wants it.  It is a middle-size painting: 62cm x 46 cm (24x19)  

Portraits with a touch of surreal, imaginative aspects, sometimes dark, funny or light and always mysterious. It is the way a painted image of somebody should be created. We all have secret spots in our souls, aren't we? Maybe I am wrong. I don't know. Perhaps just an exact image as in the photograph should satisfy a few and be accepted as good enough. Maybe for some. But not for me. I want to paint the person in their imaginary cosmos, and I love the impenetrable story around the character. Here are some examples of portraits in different styles: super realistic, imaginative, surreal, fantastic. You, as a customer, have the last word; however, I will try to persuade you to allow me to surprise you with my imagination.
