Ewa Ratajczyk
graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznań and the Danish School of Design in Copenhagen. She practices painting, drawing, and artistic ceramics. She is the author of numerous solo and group exhibitions in Poland and abroad. The exhibition will feature dozens of small-format paintings influenced by her fascination with color.
"I have been conducting classes with children and young people for many years. I remember the answer of one of the girls, who, when asked , which color she likes best, replied that "Of the many colors, she likes all colors best". I found this very funny and at the same time extremely true.
Because it made me understand that in my work I had an "adventure with many colors". These colors often changed depending on my mood, emotions, the moment. Sometimes it was blue, which I associated with space, water, air other times it was a whole range of colors that brought to mind the nuances of a thousand jittery blips of light and color at sunrise over the sea.At such a moment, a person realizes that the color palette actually begins with the three most important, from the color wheel: yellow, blue and red.As a result of mixing these colors, a wide range of indefinite combinations on the subject is created, and it is this that builds the image.
In my works presented at CKiS, I wanted to show this unusual sensitivity. To draw attention to the possibilities that I have been able to achieve thanks to the technique I use, but also the possibilities of those not yet discovered. Those that lie ahead of me."
