oil, canvas, 130x150 cm, signed back, upper left corner: Natalia Spyrka, Hysterical, 2018
The artist mainly uses oil and mixed media techniques on canvas. The art she creates is strongly autobiographical, a kind of intuitive, non-literal psychoanalysis of herself and those close to her. It crystallizes in the form of the body, it is an entry point, a psychological portrait, a personification of the individual's inner states. In her work she is inspired by psychology and philosophy, but also by everything that surrounds her and that she experiences. Natalia Spyrka was born in 1995, lives and creates in Krakow. She graduated with honors from painting in the studio of Professor Adam Brincken at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow in 2020. Selected group exhibitions:
