Eliza Mytko

"Who am I ?

Especially a woman aware of her own identity. A woman who feels, desires and observes. I paint feelings, my paintings enchanting the world of the senses by giving them human forms. I balance between dream and reality, visible, private or even intimate. The body fascinates me. when I paint it, I treat it like a medium, and transcribe to the eyes of the world my passion for it.

Each painting has its own intimate dimension, it is a mixture of colors and meanings. What unites them: a conscious sensuality with the skin with its millions of receptors simulating touch, but also light and sun projected on this solitary body or the couple. I also feel a metaphysical contact, even a carnal act of meeting. During creation, what fascinates me is the moment when the flow of the senses becomes tense, without ever crossing the border. My paintings are erotic, sensual, stimulate the imagination, whisper stories. I don't mean to shock. My goal: to play with the senses, warm them up, bring them to the boil, a fleeting moment between parted lips and a kiss.

To be able to transcribe these bodies into a pictorial act and the ability to exhibit my emotions, I needed to mature. It was only when I let my imagination enter the world of this extraordinary magic that is sensuality that I felt the need to create. I am self-taught, I have been painting for only seven years. My passion was born during the creation of my first painting. This medium has become my oxygen and each painting is like a newborn. Some paintings are born in pain, where I struggle with the stubborn material of the canvas, wanting to make it relive my own emotions. Like Pygmalion, I love all my works, because in each one, I left a part of myself there. "
