Prose(c) of life" exhibition

Painting exhibition by Katarzyna Saniewska 'PROZA(C) ŻYCIA'.
Katarzyna Saniewska about herself: "I am a graphic designer by training, however, my heart is in painting and it is in painting that I realise myself artistically, whereas I treat graphic art more commercially, which translates, among other things, into cooperation with the 'One Wall Design' studio. I prefer to work in oil, but I also draw. I am passionate about Polish design, especially from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.

I graduated with honours from the Faculty of Workshop Graphics at EAS in Warsaw. I prepared the practical part in large format linocut and the appendix in photography under the supervision of Professor Ryszard Osadczy. The supervisor of the theoretical part in art history was Dr Izabella Galicka. I studied painting under Ewa Pełka, Franciszek Satrowieyski, Jerzy Duda-Gracz, Janusz Ackerman and Antoni Fałat. I deepened my knowledge of art by studying at the Faculty of Art History at the University of Warsaw, and then at postgraduate studies at the Faculty of Cultural Studies at the SWPS Humanities University. I completed the latter with honours, and my thesis was supervised by Prof. Anna Zeidler-Janiszewska, PhD. The next step was my doctoral studies during which I received the Rector's award for outstanding scientific achievements. I am a scholarship holder of the MDiKN. I am a member of the Association of Polish Artists and Designers, where I regularly participate in exhibitions of the Painting Section.

My works have been exhibited at numerous individual and collective exhibitions including the Festival of Polish Contemporary Painting in Szczecin, Die Schopfungswege Artfabrik Wuppertal, Gallery "022" ZPAP, Gallery "Galeria 81stopni" etc". I am tainted by my love for the city, its rhythms, sounds, symbolic layers and interpersonal interactions. I take as much pleasure in listening to the trams on Grójecka Street as I do to the whispering of the Vistula under the "poniatoszczak". I am a fourth-generation Varsovian and this is both a richness and a burden. How do I go beyond this space of collective memory that is my city, and should I attempt to do so? For me, painting is the language into which I try to translate the reality around me. To understand it myself and to be better understood. Vibrations of colour escape words. I don't paint architecture. I paint people on whom the city casts a shadow. Or casts light:). I try to find this light, both in my paintings and in my life, and treat the search for it as an antidepressant.

I work most preferably in oil technique, looking for expressive fields of colour and directions in the composition, which at the same time translate into directions of emotional relations, between the characters in my works.

I live and paint in the Ochota district of Warsaw. I teach drawing and painting, I work as an instructor at the "Miś" House of Culture, I organise exhibitions, sometimes I write something about art and its borders - I cooperate with the interactive agency "Whites" and the Polish-British cultural-artistic quarterly "Post Scriptum" .
