Monika DAŁEK, Wet air smells like a flower

80x80, acrylic on canvas, 2016

Born in Zgierz in 1981. She completed her art education with a master's degree in 2008 at the Faculty of Visual Education of the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz. She is engaged in various activities in the field of visual arts, recently with a strong focus on acrylic painting.
In her paintings, she depicts figures, in a simplified manner, depriving them of individual characteristics, thus creating an atmosphere of understatement.
Emotions are the greatest source of inspiration, they are the beginning of the construction of paintings, intuitive explorations of the creative process. Literature, in turn, allows him to organize the values and themes he chooses to depict. He paints pictures in which there is always a story and the title is an important, integral part of them. An attempt to generalize the range of themes depicted leads to the conclusion that it is a good closeness between people and desire.
