Paintings to fairy tales by Oscar Wilde

WIESLAWA KWIATKOWSKA ( 1925- 2011 )

She was a wall painting restorer by profession. She lived in Warsaw's Old Market Square. It was here, in a small room-studio, that she created beautiful paintings, which arouse interest also outside our country. In 1948-1953 she studied at the Faculty of Painting and the Faculty of Conservation of Works of Art at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts. As a student of the Academy of Fine Arts, she participated in conservation work at the Old Market Square in Warsaw, and after graduation she worked for many years as a conservator of monuments, including: the Castle in Lublin, Tuma near Leczyca, Czerwińsk-on-Vistula and Krzeszów.
With time, painting became the dominant field of Wieslawa Kwiatkowska's work. Careful artistic preparation and many years of conservation work have resulted in a perfectly mastered artistic technique.
In recent years, Wieslawa Kwiatkowska's work has been greatly influenced by the poetry of J. Harasymowicz, B. Leśmian, M. Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska and Father J. Twardowski. There were created painting cycles "Legends of flowers", "Angels in poetry" - (fragments of inspiring poems were written on the reverse side of the painting) and "Madonnas from Polish poetry".
In Wieslawa Kwiatkowska's works one can find influences of English art of the late 19th century and Art Nouveau, but they are not decisive here. Over many years of artistic work, the painter has created her own style. Her world of paintings is fantastic colors, at times fairy-tale-like, yet not devoid of realism. The multicolored motifs of the paintings also cover their frames, which, as it were, physically breaks the distance between the work and its viewer.
Through extremely colorful, fairy-tale and fantastic visions, the artist introduces us to the world of poetry as seen through her eyes. It is a world of fairy tales and dreams full of beauty and mystery, so rarely present in our everyday life.
