The “Modern Landscape” series is full of abstractions and mental shortcuts that can evoke multiple feelings in the viewer. Also the difficult ones, growing out of disillusionment with civilization and caused by the awareness of the long distance that still separates him from other people. (Attraction, Strange is this World, Traces, Hope). The unity in understanding the modality of these works is provided by both color compositions and the play of symbols. Anna Stawowczyk juxtaposes shape with color, realizing that color is a psychophysical phenomenon. She brilliantly operates with parameters that the viewer perceives as separate qualities: hue, saturation or brightness. There she builds new meanings and there she charts the fields of mutual tensions. Thus, the images appear as proposals of expressive sign, each time occupying the right place in the space of ever-present meanings. (Birth of a Star, Day and Night, Excess). The artist’s sense of synthesis allows her to create multithreaded contexts, but in all declinations there is basic message, the attempt to “embrace the whole in a single view,” is present. The intention is thus consistently pursued. In her considerations, the artist also reaches abstract geometry (Pan de Mia Overture, 2020), read in terms of the macro-space of the cosmos.
