Edyta DUDUŚ, Now I will have silence

120x90, acrylic on canvas, 2022

Graduate of the Faculty of Painting and Sculpture at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw (diploma with excellent grade, annex in multimedia). She studied painting in the studio of Prof. Aleksander Dymitrowicz and multimedia in the studio of Prof. nadzw. Przemysław Pintal. She lives and works in Wroclaw.

She does easel painting and video art, focusing on human existence. The scene on the canvas is usually filled with a female figure placed in a more or less defined reality. The frame of the painting forces the viewer to reflect on existence, communicates paradoxical truths - subjectively - which are at the same time time time timeless and transcultural truths. This specific qualitative dialectic, reveals the contradictions inherent in human existence. Hence, fear and hope, uncertainty and trust, solitude and closeness, absurdity and meaning, possibility and necessity, find their proper place in this artistic narrative. The artist's statement is characterized by interpretive openness. Abbreviation and understatement form a synthesis of painterly expression, which by its very nature aims to find silence, relief and freedom.

In her video realizations, the artist also touches on the problem of human existence, which is changeable and contingent. Among other things, she deals with human potential and its limitations, self-destructive tendencies and the possibilities of positively creating one's own life; man in a relationship, I - the other, I - the world, fighting a dispute between reason, will and feelings.
