ART 727 Thesis and Exposition

Embracing the shadows and light of our existence, ‘Dreamscapes’ is a visionary project bridging traditional artistry and modern digital expression. Drawing from the profound influences of Rembrandt, Caravaggio, and a lineage of distinguished Polish artists, this project forges a unique dialogue between the subconscious and the canvas. Each artwork, starting as an etching, evolves into a Baroque-inspired theatrical tableau, enhanced by modern digital techniques. This creates a vivid interplay of contrasts, exploring our identities and cultural roles. ‘Dreamscapes’ not only delves into the darker aspects of life but emerges with hope, celebrating the resilience of the human spirit. It’s a journey into self-discovery, hounoring the human and particularly the female experience, through a lens where tradition meets modernity. This project invites you to experience the surreal wonder of life, encapsulating the inseparable dance of light and shadow, life and death, in a celebration of the transformative power of art.
