Drawings During Pandemic Days
Words by Katarzyna Łyszkowska
2020
My art seeks to explore the concept of intertwining individual and collective identity in the context of social and cultural phenomena. I touch upon individual stories and experiences as well as biographies and stories concerning entire communities. They affect our contemporary identity especially at that pandemic time and our perception of the future.

I select tools of expression to match the specificity of my works. I use broadly-understood drawing and illustration, sometimes art-installation, multimedia and social interactions to create art-puzzles that aim to reinterpret certain social mechanisms.

"In my realizations I’m exploring the theme of interpenetrate the social, individual, and the collective identity in the full context of the sociological phenomenon. Identity does not exist without self-awareness. In my work I am referring to individual stories, biographies and history of the whole community. Our contemporary identity is influenced by this common source of acquired memories which anticipate the future."
