“Femme Fatale" is a captivating piece of art that challenges traditional notions of femininity and beauty. At first glance, it presents the viewer with the striking visage of a woman, but upon closer inspection, it reveals layers of complexity and symbolism.
The central feature of the artwork is the woman's head, adorned with ears reminiscent of a rabbit's, yet upon closer examination, these ears are crafted from real bullets. This juxtaposition of innocence and danger immediately grabs the viewer's attention, prompting contemplation on the duality of female identity.
Her gaze, fashioned from flawless lab diamonds, adds an element of allure and mystique. It is as if she is peering into the soul of the observer, inviting them to explore the depths of her enigmatic persona.
The choice of materials in “Femme Fatale" speaks volumes about the artist's intent. The use of bullets symbolizes the inherent power and potential for destruction that lies within femininity, while the diamonds represent the timeless allure and resilience of the female spirit.
In essence, “Femme Fatale" is a thought-provoking exploration of femininity, power, and the complexities of human nature. It challenges the viewer to reconsider preconceived notions and invites them to embark on a journey of introspection and discovery.

Presentation
Pawel Borzym , a self-taught artist born in 1982. He creates unique and thought-provoking pieces using bullet shells as his medium. His work centers on exploring the juxtaposition of soft emotions and hard materials, resulting in a powerful and striking visual contrast. With an innate ability to transform something often associated with violence and destruction into a medium for artistic expression, Pawel's art encourages viewers to consider the complexities of the human experience. He is committed to pushing the boundaries of traditional art forms, and his work has been featured in galleries and exhibitions across the country. With each piece, he invites the viewer to look beyond the surface and explore the deeper meaning behind the materials. He is always exploring new ways to use bullet shells as a medium and his work will be appreciated by many.
Artist Statement;
As an artist, I am deeply committed to exploring the complexities of the human experience through my work. My art reflects the past decade of my life, during which I have faced numerous challenges and hardships. Through these struggles, I have come to appreciate the importance of preserving and protecting our natural world, as well as the power of resilience and the ability to transform adversity into valuable lessons.
I use hard materials, such as bullet shells, to create pieces that elicit a sense of softness and vulnerability. Through this juxtaposition, I aim to challenge societal norms and provoke thought about the human condition. My work is heavily influenced by past cultural expressions, particularly the 1970s punk movement, which rejected the status quo and rejected the establishment. Furthermore, my work is also influenced by the current technological developments, specifically the impact of cryptocurrency and the cyberpunk movement in the banking industry.
By using unconventional materials and subverting traditional expectations, I invite viewers to look beyond the surface and explore the deeper meaning behind my work. With each piece, I aim to push the boundaries of traditional art forms and foster a greater understanding of the human experience.
