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...

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.  

Perfect Beauty, water colourd, framed. For sale: GBP 1200  Is it a legitimate question if nude is acceptable in South-West England galleries or not?  Based on my experience, it is. It is acceptable by the gallery owners but not by the visitors or other artists who expose their paintings in the gallery. Suppose you think that the nude is something just natural and normal and that most of the pictures and sculptures from the period between Rennassaince and Barok are full or naked bodies. In that case, you will be surprised to discover that nude is unacceptable in the XXI century in galleries in Cornwall.  As In A Dream; oil on canvas; framed,  I will tell you a short about my two nude paintings in one of the galleries in North Cornwall. The owner liked them, and he exhibited both of them for a while. Then one day, when I dropped by to see if maybe he sold one of my paintings (I also had two abstract paintings and 4 water colours pictures), he told me that he had to put...

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...

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.
