Izabela DRZEWIECKA (b. 1966), Field of Abundance, 2026

acrylic on canvas, 80 x 80 cm, signed on the back

She earned her degree from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań and the Institute of Pedagogy and the Arts in Kalisz. She received her training in painting in the studio of Professor Andrzej Niekrasz. Even then, she had no idea that she herself would one day become a painter, although she had shown a passion for and talent in painting since childhood. She most enjoys working with acrylics, oils, and watercolors. Her works are part of private collections in Poland and abroad. She also creates printmaking works. Since 2004, she has worked at the Elementary School in Stawiszyn as an art teacher and instructor of artistic activities. She inspires her students with her passion, dedication, and love of art, nurturing and supporting young talent through her artistic guidance. In recent years, she has created numerous abstract works, employing an explosion of color and light. The technique of applying layers of paint—with gestures that blur and modify previous layers—becomes a form of playing with chance. The illusion of space, spontaneity, and intuitive symbols rooted in spatial logic draw the viewer into a realm of experiences and sensations within the world of matter. She has held exhibitions showcasing her 30-year artistic career as well as series of works dedicated to the discovery of contemporary art. These exhibitions have demonstrated how deeply the language of abstraction can unite generations into a single, cohesive, emotional whole. These extraordinary, energetic paintings illuminate the gallery space with their colors and transport visitors into a world of emotion.
