ELŻBIETA  CZAPLINSKA- KANIA

My works
I seek different ways of expression that are able to bridge the realm of sensations, experiences and thoughts with the artistic form. When sound is translated into an image it becomes a key to decoding the composition and its emotional information that manifests in the abstract impressions of the painter. Eventually those sensual journeys into music evolved into a series of paintings, including pieces dedicated to Frédéric Chopin’s compositions.

On the other hand, my experience of work with children became my inner obligation to tackle the difficult topic of kids dispossessed of their childhood, dignity, stripped of hope and life. A world where adults are in charge and yet none of us is reacting to a child’s despair and suffering. Janusz Korczak once wrote: “Don’t trample, don’t ill-treat, don’t sell [a child] into slavery of tomorrow, don’t extinguish, don’t hasten, don’t rush”.
