A surreal twist on the classics: the portraits of Ewa Juszkiewicz

Polish artist Ewa Juszkiewicz takes us on a captivating journey through the world of portraiture with her unique blend of surrealism. She starts with the familiar visual conventions of classical portraits, but then injects a healthy dose of the unexpected, transforming them into thought-provoking works of art.

Juszkiewicz achieves this by fusing the figures in her paintings with elements of still life, clothing, and even hairstyles. Imagine a woman’s flowing dress morphing into cascading fruits or a subject’s hair transforming into a bouquet of flowers. These unexpected juxtapositions create a sense of wonder and challenge our traditional perceptions of portraiture.

But Juszkiewicz’s work goes beyond mere visual trickery. By disrupting the established codes of portraiture, she invites viewers to contemplate the very nature of these representations. What do these portraits tell us about the subjects themselves, and how do they reflect the cultural context in which they are created?

Ewa Juszkiewicz’s art is a delightful interplay between the familiar and the strange. She breathes new life into the classical portrait style, prompting us to question our assumptions and appreciate the power of art to surprise and challenge us.
