The leading themes in my paintings are spirals, whirlpools, cyclones and circles that symbolize transformations, roads, uncertainties, and at the same time are symbols of constancy and obviousness. They represent the spatio-temporal values ​​that are for me the axis of existence in the psychic and spiritual dimension. By painting a picture, I discover new internal and external territories, I get to know myself as well as the world that surrounds me. With each step grows the hope that I am getting closer to the "secret" that is hiding somewhere beyond the horizon. Life is a great unknown, we never know what awaits us next door. New challenges, obstacles and difficulties are interwoven with moments of respite and even shorter moments of happiness. That is also human nature, we are full of contradictions. Chaotic, and at the same time orderly, full of flaws and virtues, we have goodness and evil. There is no color without light, no light without darkness. We are complete with these opposites. In my paintings, therefore, I show my thoughts about the world and human nature. I ask questions about the future and the past. I use artistic language. Thanks to him, I can fully communicate with other people and their surroundings. I do this because I can not name what I see internally in words. Sending these thoughts to canvas is the only thing I can do to express them.

Anna Osiecka born in 1984 in Krakow, graduate of the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow with a master's degree in the field of painting.
