Barbara Wroniszewska's painting, in her own words, "is a simple delight in existence...a love of life as it is...in my art the here and now is important, it is the point at which the past and future are built. My existence like any is based on feelings, emotions woven into the dynamics of time." She bases her art on two pillars-truth and freedom-which, according to the artist, are the basis of each work. Barbara Wroniszewska's motto is the words of Marc Chagall... "everything in art should be in accordance with the pulsation of our blood with our whole being, even unconscious."
Origami pigeon is the first work that opened the series. Unexpectedly, it developed at a time when we humans having spread our wings had to stop them suddenly in flight. An accidental dove, once made by Lilka, carrying a sleeping city in its wings, attached to the light switch in the studio, turned out to be a perfect translation of the unexpected and surprising reality.
