Ewelina Skowronska’s Career

Style and Colour

Ewelina follows a fairly limited palette, primarily using muted colours and quiet tones to give her work a poetic stillness. Even when working in mixed media, Ewelina keeps her compositions considered and refined, giving her figures a balletic quality. However, Ewelina does not just focus on the subject matter of the female form, and by giving weight to negative space, she gestures towards the unspoken aspects of female physicality.
