Joanna Wojtowicz
Poland • 1997
Presentation
Born in 1997 in Poland, Parisian since 2017, Joanna Wojtowicz studied painting and applied arts at the School of Fine Arts in Wroclaw, where she stood out for her technique. In 2017 she was selected as the best student in her school.
Preferring to put herself to the test rather than follow a long university course, Joanna settled in Paris where she tried her hand at drawing, engraving, to finally return to figurative oil painting, which she practises in her studio in Montreuil.
Always fascinated by the world of avant-gardes and modernism between the two wars, Joanna devotes herself to art only for the sake of representing the beauty of the world and of human beings.The need is to transmit a vision of the personal and intimate world, deeply feminine.She brings us into the world of her friendships and her affections by presenting with a series of intimate portraits. Far from the streets full of crowds, far from social struggles and fighting for a system that would have us all reduced to numbers or to labelled and catalogued groups, Joanna seems rather to bring our attention back to the individual, to individuals, their multiple worlds, their diverse backgrounds, all different and yet all extraordinary. Through the eyes of these varied samples of humanity, we find ourselves strolling through a sort of gallery of the artist's family portraits, samples of varied and multiple humanity, fascinating in their displayed, cultivated and positively assumed.
