“THE SHROUDED FACES, THE GRACEFUL FEATURES AND GENTLE EXPRESSIONS REMIND ME OF A QUIETER PLACE, PERHAPS A PLACE THAT DOESN’T EVEN EXIST, WHERE TIME MOVES SLOWLY AND PEOPLE ARE UNFAILINGLY TENDER AND KIND.”
GOSIA IS AN ARTIST WITH A LOT CHURNING IN HER SOUL. HER ART IS ROOTED IN A NEED TO PROCESS THE WORLD, SOCIETY AND LIFE’S EXPERIENCES. HER CREATIVE PROCESS STRIVES TO FILTER OUT THE DARK, THE SCARY AND THE UGLY IN SEARCH OF INNOCENCE, BEAUTY AND SPIRITUALITY. THE RESULT OF WHICH ARE OTHERWORLDLY CHARACTERS POETICALLY PERSONIFYING HER DEEP INNER EMOTIONS. AT FIRST GLANCE THESE FIGURES APPEAR STILL, BUT THEIR GENTLE EXPRESSIONS, GRACEFUL GESTURES AND HAUNTING GAZES REVEAL A STORM OF INWARD CONTEMPLATION. SHE USES VARIOUS VISUAL SYMBOLS AS METAPHORS TO FURTHER REVEAL THEIR INNER TURMOIL, THOUGHTS OR REVERIE. THEIR STRIKING AND RESONATING QUALITY LIES IN CAPTURING MOMENTS NORMALLY EXPRESSED IN PRIVATE, YET SHE FREEZES THEM AND ALLOWS US TAKE AS LONG AND CLOSE A LOOK AS WE WANT. INANIMATE OBJECTS BECOME INTIMATE AS WE SEE OURSELVES REFLECTED IN THEM.
