ALEKSANDRA SZEWCZUK
Aleksandra Szewczuk describes her creative experience as ´´attempting to release the mind `from everything´ that surrounds it …´´. This sentiment is evident when looking at her work. Szewczuk´s compositions are superimposed pools of colour that create unique forms on canvas. Szewczuk boldly steps into an arena made famous by the likes of Rothko and Frankenthaler adding her own page to the world of colour field art.
