Abstract painting, dimensions 30 x 25 cm, painted in mixed technique on canvas – Amelia Augustyn

Amelia Augustyn (born in 1989) lives and works in Częstochowa, where she graduated with distinction in Painting from the Jan Długosz University (currently the University of Humanities and Natural Sciences) in the studio of Dr. habil., Prof. UJD Włodzimierz Kulej and Dariusz Słota (drawing annex). Since 2016, she has been a member of the Association of Polish Visual Artists of the Częstochowa District. She creates using oils, acrylics, watercolors, and mixed media techniques. “Ribbon” is an abstract piece with a free, distinctly dynamic form. The work fully reflects her current artistic direction. Recent paintings focus on the interplay of color and movement, creating compositions with strong expression. “Ribbon” references the 20th-century trend of non-geometric abstraction; Tachisme, of which the most well-known representative in Poland is Tadeusz Kantor. Small formats are most often intended for intimate spaces, which positively influences the reception of the work. The advantage of small paintings is their great versatility in arrangement. In more spacious interiors, it is worth considering a home gallery consisting of several works or choosing multi-element compositions, e.g., a triptych. “Ribbon” was painted on a lightweight, canvas (cotton) substrate (height 30 cm, width 25 cm, depth 1.5 cm). It was created using mixed media (acrylic paints and enamels). A clear signature “A. Augustyn” is placed in the lower left corner. The painting was created in 2019. Its edges are aesthetically covered with black paint, so framing is not necessary.
