MONIKA STOLARSKA– Przesilenie

"In my work I explore the multilayered complexity of the world, constructing visual narratives in which all elements, natural and urban,organic and industrial, remain part of one interconnected whole.
Painting becomes for me a space of dialogue between the micro and the macro scale, between what is material and what is symbolic.
Careful observation of the rhythms of nature has long accompanied my painting. Within them I perceive recurring cycles of tension, growth, and disappearance. Over time, I began to recognize these same rhythms within myself and within the human world: metaphorically, as an experience of transformation in which I can see my own reflection.
In this sense, I understand “Przesilenie” as a particular moment, a turning point at which something ends, but at the same time something new begins.
In my paintings, dense rocks, streams, parabolic stems, purple fumes,
and pulsating spheres of suns intertwine with images of abandoned buildings, discarded bulky objects, or weeds growing through cracks in the concrete. I juxtapose these motifs because I am interested in the tension between the vision of decay and the possibility of renewal.
I process my own sensations, memories, and intuitive traces, shaping them into a personal visual language. What I see today emerges from what I once remembered, which is why nature often becomes in my works the materialization of a world that continually draws me in.
My paintings are a record of the past and a reflection on transience, but also an observation of how destruction and growth coexist within one pulsating rhythm. In these painterly spaces, humans and nature permeate one another: the city becomes overgrown with vegetation, while organic forms appear in places once occupied by former structures. Everything intertwines and interacts, creating landscapes that are at once memory, premonition, and a record of the world’s constant movement."
