Weronica Dylag

She is a Warsaw based graphic designer that turned 5 years ago to painting. She draws inspiration from works of Yago Hortal, Nicolaos Schizas, Orlanda Bloom, Lauren Mycroft, Jan Kalab but also her works are strongly influenced by her graphical design experience that was very much visible in her early works. Her interest in psychology and social interactions as well as strong belief that the ability to express and experience positive emotions are a way of maintaining mental health - dictates her colour palette. She became interested in pouring technique a year ago. She started to experiment with different acrylic mediums and paint proportions and decided to use blows of air instead of brushes. She started showing her work only a year ago.

In a world where we are surrounded by negative news, loss, grief, polarisation I believe we need positive emotions even more emphasised. Instead of undermining their importance I want to embrace them. I represent emotions and mental states through colour. I use strong blows of air instead of brushes to spread the paint across canvas as a way to capture the elusive nature of emotions.
